Tech days are a great place to start. People get together to work on their bikes for the day and you can hang around and learn from what other people are doing. Some common and easy to work on bikes have dedicated tech days, which make for the best learning environment (lots of expertise on that specific bike). The Kawasaki KLR650 in the USA is a good example. If there is no tech day any times soon, ask around the riders in your area who work on their own bikes and see if anyone would help you work on your bike in exchange for some  .
Also great to just get a bike that is easy to work on (carburetor is best, they are a lot simpler than fuel injection!), the owner's manual, and (if available) the Clymer manual. Then start doing your own maintenance. Look online for more guides for your bike. Take things apart and put them back together again to figure out how they work. Be slow and methodical and take lots of notes when necessary to be certain you can get everything back together again!
Join a forum for your specific bike so you have a place to ask questions!
And of course.....have fun!
