Me, interjecting, to her I asked:

"How many pairs of shoes are in your closet?"

And then I walked away, my work done.

Shoes: $200-$300 Each on the HIGH END
Bikes: $1500-$2000 Each on the LOW END

Shoes: You wear while you are doing other things
Bikes: Is an activity by itself

Shoes: Require no maintenance
Bikes: Requires maintenace

My Work here is done

Are you able to ride the track, street sumo and dirt bikes all at the same time?

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard lmao.

I have hiking boots for hiking. Running shoes for running. Work boots for working. Flips flops for flippety-flopping, dress shoes for dressing up....

If course I don't where them all at the same time. Just like I ride a different bike depending on the day and where I want to go. Solo ride on a gorgeous morning on a twisty road? Sport bike! Cruise out to lunch with some friends....? Harley day! Wanna do wheelies in city traffic? SUUUMMMOOOOO!

So I don't believe you that you like bicycles.

Of course you have to have more than one bike... that's why they make so many! CBR1000RR, street bike. CBR600RR, track bike. Ducati M1100, other street bike. KDX220R, trail bike. The girl friend even has a bike and wants my dirtbike do I'm looking at a CRF450RX. And don't get me started on all the gear to go with... ha!
