Learning Motorcycle Repair on My Own

I guess the next logical step after buying your first bike in about 30 years was to want to learn how to work on it yourself. I checked out the local community college for a Motorcycle Mechanics Course, no luck. The closest school was in Orlando, Florida. I work a fulltime job and helping to raise a family so there is no chance of enrolling there so the next best thing I could find was a free online Motorcycle Repair Course. A guy by the name of Dan offers a free course which can be found at http://www.dansmc.com/ . I have decided to follow along step by step and see just how much old Dan can teach this old dog. One of the first things Dan suggests is finding an older simpler bike to work on as you learn the ropes. I have placed some flyers around the office asking if anyone has an old motorcycle just sitting around that they would be willing to give away. Hopefully I can find one someone is willing to give away so I can start following the steps outlined online. I will post some updates on my progress. As for now I'm looking for that bike to start working on.
