I was once told the best mechanics are the ones that have learned by experience. I learned by doing small jobs on my own bikes and working up from there. I currently have two bikes in my small shop. Also I am building another one for my daughter.
Buy a manual for your bike and just start in on it. If you are a little scared of messing up then go out and buy an old beat up metric and a manual for it (recommend a single jug ). That way if you mess up you have time to figure out what when wrong and it don't cost you riding time.
Check out www.themotorbookstore.com for books and manuals that may help you.

Yes, there is a free online motorcycle repair course. You can find it at http://www.dansmc.com/MC_repaircourse.htm
The guys politics are wacked, but the information on bikes is good. You will find it helpful.
Oh, I take great offense to the the guy who says motorcycle mechanics are shady.

I can't recommend the above site highly enough!
Do not trust the mechanics at the shop. Motorcycle mechanics are even shadier and more crooked than your run of the mill mechanics. Doing your own work will save you a lot of wasted time in the end.

ans all good. Difficulty is with special tools like for forks or clutches. Then them thar torque wrenches: metric and American and British. BSA's have different spans for their sockets and Lucas electrics with their neg grounds are prone to impish cutouts. Nowadays most things are more standardized. Ask an old wrench for advice.

Unless you are building a bike from scratch everything is fairly easy.It is not hard to unbolt a part and bolt a new one back on.Buy a good factory repair manual and go for it.

If you purchase the factory service manual for your particular bike it will provide you with most of the information you will need, the rest is just experience.
