Seriously though, if you have any mechanical wherewithal, and a clymer's manual, you'll be off to a good start. There's no better experience than just doing it.
Maybe it'll take you twice as long as someone who knows what they're doing, but you'll know your bike inside and out. Plus you'll meet some new people when you get stuck and need a hand from someone knowledgable.
