End of the year mileage
« on: January 02, 2014, 04:09:22 PM »
I ended up just shy of 13,000 miles (20,921.5 KM).  Overall not a bad riding year but I think I could have got a 100 (161 KM) or so more miles in towards the end.

are for one year, you did good.
4000+ is the best I could do. Early summer purchase, "300GTi, but it rained a lot. One of the rainiest seasons our area has seen.

Got the fever real bad but, it is cold, windy, and wet out again!.

  Got my new GTI300 in April. I only put about 2200 miles on it this year. That's more than I used to put on my Harley in three years. Just wish there were more scooter riders to go out with in central New York. Riding alone is OK, but I'd rather go with a group.

April 2013 purchase of a 'new' 2012 "LIKE 200i".
163 cc's. 4350 miles.
For several reasons - at least 4340 of these miles were ridden on roads marked 35MPH, or less.
I would be interested in seeing the engine size along side the mileage.

just under 12,000 for me. big reason is whenever it wasnt raining i used it to commute to and from work (30 miles each way)  racked up the miles quick but thats what the big bore is built for ;)
always leave yourself an exit incase you get stuck in a pinch. RIDE SAFE!

I think I only made it 3500, but can I get extra points considering 1000 were with my foot in a cast?

Bought my People 150 in June this year, and put over 1600 miles in 4 months...until a drunk ran into me and totaled the scoot. I had to wait a month until I was able to get my PCH 150, and in the cold and wet weather of November and December I managed to put 270 miles on it so far. I will allow the extra points for Cosmo if I can get points for having to wait on the insurance company. Happy riding, everyone!

I have a son in Ithaca that used to be an avid MC rider, but he has expressed an interest in my Like and i think he would respond to a little encouragement. He's in his early 50's and has mellowed a lot since riding his Honda CB 350 many years ago. Let me know if you want to contact him. I'll be happy to introduce you.
Peace and ride safe.

4575 on my Like 200i since April. (And this is in "Orygun" where it is supposed to rain all the time according to the easterners I talk to.) Got in 45 today in 42 degree weather. Was a great ride, but glad to see the driveway.
Peace and ride safe.

   I bought my first scooter (People 150) from Jerry at Gold Sport Cycles in Ithaca. Had a good experience there. He's a good guy and would give your son a square deal on a Kymco Scooter. If he does get one, let me know, I would enjoy hooking up with him to ride. I'm up in Syracuse only about an hour away.

For the first year of my Kymco Agility 125, I put on 9,570 miles. Not too shabby.

Yep, been to Syracuse. Beautiful country. We love that part of your state and visit it as often as we can. I'll let Mike know you are around.

Just missed 17K for the year on my gt300. At 29plus K since April 2012. Would have made it but had surgery in early December ? 8)

I'm at 3400 on My 2012 Like 200i LX. I would have had more but I missed 6 weeks this summer during my rehab from heart surgery. I have been making up for it lately because it has been dry here in Oregon but cold. I plan on a lot more riding in 2014.
