DIY or Dealer?
Do you maintain you own bike(s) or do you take it to the shop?

Either do it myself or have a friend help. A good friend worked at a dealership as a mechanic for most of his life.

So far its DIY. Hopefully by Tuesday I will have another bike that will eventually need maintenance at the shop.

all my regular maintenance and small repairs are done at home, any large repairs (engine rebuild sorta thing) I would prolly leave to a dealer. But as a testament to my amazing abilities, the only thing I ever have done at the dealer is to have them change my tires for me.

Dealer?
 Oh! the boneheads you have to go to for a new bike!Nope, I do my own work. If I had space for a NoMar, I'd do tires too.

There are only a select few shops I'd ever let touch my motorcycle (long distance trip emergencies excepted). One of the reasons I have a motorcycle is that I can work on ALL of it without too many specialty tools or the need for a "shop".
