well, I have a stable of Indian Roadmaster, Indian Scout, Honda VT600, Janus Halcyon, H-D softail deluxe, H-D wide glide, H-D Livewire, H-D Iron, Triumph Speedmaster , Vanderhall Venice, Jeep, RAM 1500…so I rarely get more than a few thousand miles per year on any one vehicle even at more than 20000 miles/year total

Choose? I keep a white-board with basic information - last tire pressure check, last service, next service due, and last date I rode. I make sure to keep the rotation fresh, but the Honda struggles for attention. Definitely different function for the different rides, all different characters
Licensing is about $3K per year and Ins. is a bit over $1K (excluding the Jeep and Ram). So it is expensive, but it is the only place I spend money. Stopped flying which saves easily $10K/year in rentals so that is a little bit of an off-set.

I struggle riding 2 bikes, get into just riding one more than the other at times, was worse when I still had a cage.
I agree with 10 years max on an otherwise good looking tire. In your situation, I would probably look into getting a durometer to keep check on the hardness of the rubber and learn what to check for visually, I think you'll be fine. You might try to ride the bikes getting close to end of tire life a little more to "get your money's worth" so to say, or do some burnouts.
