The numbers might be a bit bloated, but not by a lot.

We had just moved to Canada from a country without a reciprocal drivers license exchange - no matter as she never had one. Where we had moved from, drivers licenses are largely considered optional and although I taught her to drive and she had been riding motorcycles since age 12 or so, driving in North America is way different. We moved just before covid hit. Driving lessons and license testing were difficult / near impossible to get - and with very long wait times. So it was her only form of transportation for quite a long time.

She was doing cleaning at various businesses around the area as well, so again she would take the bike to those locations every day with her little cargo trailer and cleaning supplies. She'd come home after dropping our son off at school, charge the bike, eat a snack, change trailers and head back out, then repeat when it was time to pick him up.

She quite easily spent 3-4 hours on the bike everyday. Just getting to school and back for our son was about 45 minutes one way. He wasn't in the closest school because of things the further school offered (nature school), another 30 minutes each way to the local shopping centre, and then wherever she needed to go for work.

We went through a lot of tires and brake pads, but other than general maintenance the bike held up great and is still going strong.

She has a good job and nice little car now, so the bike is seeing a lot less use this year.

She is as tough as nails. :)
