After being on tools all day the last thing I want to do is pick up a spanner on a weekend!
But if your not "in the trade" then this is a good way to learn about your bike, what to look for and what will need attention in a little while...
I will give mine a basic service (oil, filters, plugs, fork oil, chain, coolant...) but anything more involved and I'll drop it to a shop.
I might be a lazy basted but I'd prefer to be on it than under it!
Bike shop doesn’t mind taking my money off me either!
I just view it as a little holiday... I'm not working, I have to pay for the privilege but I come out of it a little more relaxed than if I did the job myself.
I keep the 2 cars and my son’s bike going so it’s not that slack! Know two guys who swap and do each others cars so they don’t have to work on there own!
Means I have more time to play on the weekends too!

Yep I use that website quite often. Good advice, but he's got some strange politics. Also interesting and slightly confusing having religious scripture mixed in with your mechanics
