We’ve seen your posts on fixing up scooters. Looks like a possible new gig.

It’s a total bait-n-switch. Piaggio Group is the worst brand to own for anything, anywhere. I know this from personal experience with my Aprilia. Here’s the process if you need parts for anything more than an oil change:
Call HQ in Italy. Nobody is there because time zones.
Wake up at 4am tomorrow to call HQ in Italy. Try to t alk to Tony and tell him what you need . Hear in background that Tony #2 can’t tell the difference between Tony #1 ’s grandma’s spaghetti and a can of Chef Boyardee. Meanwhile, Mario & Luigi are arguing about whether Tony #2's grandma’s cappuccinos taste more like instant Folgers or instant Maxwell House. It’s usually right around that time that Tony #3 chimes in to announce that his grandma’s cannolis are the only ones that taste like real, fresh cannolis, and everybody else’s grandma’s cannolis taste like they are from the frozen section at the supermarket.
You won’t be able to see it, but rest assured that everybody at the parts factory in Italy is spending all of their time wa ving their hands all over the goddam place while yelling at each other about who’s grandma’s cooking is best, and none of their time using their hands for actually making the parts that you need.
After six months or so, by some unknown miracle your parts will eventually show up. In the meantime, all the service people do is keep stalling customers until they get fed up with waiting for parts for a bike that keeps breaking all the time , and go buy a Honda.

You also just described the experience of working on classic Italian exotics made by the prancing horse folks.
