Since I've been married, I've had a Harley and 4 Kymco scooters. My wife has never been on any of them. We had a pretty active HOG (Harley Owners Group) here, and I did several rides with them. It seems though there are no active scooter groups in my area (Syracuse, NY). I don't enjoy riding alone very much, and I don't enjoy riding in the cold weather. The end result is that 1000 miles in a year is a lot for me!

In 2023 I only rode 3615 miles for the entire year. About half what I usually ride due to illness or family activities happening when I usually have my longer trips.

In 2024 I rode closer to my typical at 6591 miles for the year. My typical is between 7000-8000 miles at least. I used to ride just a bit more than that when I was working since I rode to work every month of the year in central Iowa regardless of the temp... and took the bus when the roads had slippery stuff on them since the bus picked up a block from my home and dropped off across the street from work.

I envy your public transportation!
On snow, no-scooter, days my wife had to take me to work.I caught the bus at my work for the home commute.
Dropped me for a refreshing 3/4 mile walk to my house🙃Always enjoyed city bus rides in the winter in Mass 40 yrs ago. . Warm and cozy..greeting the same pour souls...leaving the driving on bad streets to someone else.

I don’t like leaving my wife alone at home so my rides will be less in future.
Just another reason why I ride at dawn ...... back home early so as not to take away from time with my family.
I used to play a round of golf in 2.5 hrs on Sats....out there while they're still mowing the greens! Back home while the kids still in their pajamas. Once the starter got to know me...it was never a problem.
