I have been riding for a total of about 16 years now, but the last 9 years has all been on sport and super sport bikes. So it's not the riding that I dont know about, but the bikes themselves. I guess the main thing is going from my last 2 bikes(2006 ZX-10r & 2008 ZX-10r), the parts and terminology is not what I am accustomed to after riding crotch-rockets for so long. And when I bought parts for my zx's I had a shop install them, and I want to learn how to work on my Dyna myself, instead of having to pay labor costs, and have some fun knowing I did it, not someone else.

It's a learning process just like anything. Think of an area on the bike your curious about, then do a search and start reading. Keep doing that and before you know your going to be more knowledgeable......
