OT: interval for motorcycle oil changes....Help!

Hello fellow motorcyclists -
Don't really trust my local motorcycle shop - they answer everything like John Lovitz's character on SNL "Yea...that's it - you need an engine overhaul."
My bike had it's oil change 6 months ago - besides the infrequent ride (maybe 100 miles in all) it has been in a heated garage for the winter. Do I really need to change the oil again? I know the manual says 6 months or X,XXX miles, whichever comes first, but the oil still "looks" clean, the bike rides great (1,100 miles on Odo.), and there's no hesitation or idle problems. Should I do the cheap insurance and change the oil, but not the oil filter? Any input greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading. - Thom
