Practically, I'm not sure I could ride 25 bikes! I'm not even sure where I'd park that many. I have a hard enough time riding two and it's even difficult keeping up with the two cars i drive.
My Domane gets most of my miles, and my Jeep gets more than double the miles as the Taycan.

I did okay in college, but flamed out in grad school. And I'm not unhappy about that at all. The path I took worked much better for how my mind works. I am not creative, so I can't really do the 'Broad Scope' kind of stuff but I'm really good at problem solving, data analysis, and general tinkering. So I'm not the guy to come up with the Grand Idea, but I'm the guy to make it work. So that's what I've done for 40 years.
I found I couldn't motivate myself to work for a degree 4-5 years in the future. BUT pay me a salary, and I can motivate myself.

My Challenger with the 5.7L Hemi gets 20 mpg in my usual driving. Probably the 6.4L gets 18-19, and the Hellcat 16 or less, depending on how much crazy you drive it. But the original Hemi Challenger back in 1971 got about 6!
I was watching an episode of "Jay Leno's Garage" on YouTube the other day. The featured car was a V16 Cadillac from about 1932. Not Jay's, but rather belonging to the Nethercutt Collection. Jay was talking with the guy and said, "It gets - what, 3 or 4 mpg?" The guy replied, "That's generous." I mean, is it even BURNING the gas or just pouring it out the tailpipe?

I had a 2014 Audi RS5 with a 4.2L V8 that put out 450 hp. My wife looked over at the dash one day and asked what the number "5" meant on one of the instruments. You should have seen her face when I told her "average mpg - 5."
A little later I had a 2019 AMG C63S with a twin turbo 4.0L V8 that put out 503 hp.
Both could get fairly decent mileage, but what's the fun in that?

The Nethercutt Museum is a couple miles from my house. I've taken the tour twice, it's amazing. The top floor is filled with "orchestrals", music machines powered by air, and a grand player piano.
My friend's father worked there for years as a mechanic in the restoration shop. They did nearly everything in-house and had a full time guy who traveled the world looking for parts and cars. He always said it was a great place to work.
Nethercutt made his money in cosmetics and sold perfume bottles and other containers to other companies. It's called Merle Norman Cosmetics. They had a separate garage and team to maintain the fleet vehicles.
I heard when JD Nethercutt passed away in 2004 his sons fought over the collection and wanted to sell it off but it's still intact and growing.
