Default Newbie question

I will be purchasing a 2008 Street Glide at the end of September. Is there a good mechanic/shop in the DFW area? I would like to also learn the basic maintenance procedures and be able to do work myself. In my past life, I have had many bikes and worked on them and cars and understand quickly but am just not familiar with the H-D's yet. Thanks for your help.

I live in the mid-cities area. Che at The Chop Shop is great. I have always been treated right and been happy with the work. The Chop Shop is in Euless.
