In the past I have owned older bikes so I learned to repair them and enjoyed the "wrenching" almost as much as riding. Let me add that my wrenching had little to do with "moding". It was just in the interest of keeping the darn things running. Not so with the Stryker. It is new and doesn't require repair at this point, just routine maintenance. Sadly, technology has passed me and I probably won't do much in the way of repairs if/when they become necessary. So now I am just a "Rider" and enjoying every minute of it. 8)
