Maybe just casually mention that you want to buy and airplane or a couple of vintage Porsches and the all of a sudden a large bike collection looks great.

FWIW I have around 30 bikes hanging around the place, most are vintage. The collection is dynamic with members coming and going on occasion. The base collection is probably about 6.
