Mmmm begining to wonder if....

Begining to think I have not got any idea what I have got myself into!
Just been looking at some of the posts, questions and answers.........I now realise that my knowledge of technical stuff is a bit limited. No let me be a bit more honest, if mechanical knowledge was water, I have not got enough to give a one legged flea a footbath!
Need some reassurance here; I have got bike (Oli Franklins oldun), sorted the linkage to race pattern, am having belts etc done (daren't do it my self), its already had throttle, and suspension sorted etc, getting new tyres, sprockets, chain and thats about it!
In my world, belt tension is something to do with beer and pie intake and good pressure is a long forgotten memory (these days it's just a case of keeping my feet out of the way).
Do I need to start a crash course (unfortunate terminology) in Zen in the art of motorcycle mechanics?
