Here's something you'll either find interesting and useful or decry as the work of the devil...

Open up notebooklm, add sources such as your workshop manual and youtube videos about servicing your bike and then you can ask it questions such as...

I was going to surprise my wife with a 15 minute podcast on how to change the wipers on a 2010 Range Rover this weekend. Living the dream.
