This is a great question
@stollydriver. I've asked it before and got similar responses. Unless you just ride near home, I think being as self-sufficient as possible makes sense.
I'd rather work on the bike than wait for the two hours it will take for a guy driving a wrecker who's never put a bike this size onto his rig, and probably isn't going to be too careful about it when he does. Then off to a mystery mechanic somewhere I know nothing about. This goes with me everywhere I go. There's a big place for almost all of it under the seat (older bikes, at least). Why not? What do other people use that space for?
