Filled oil tank with 11oz Pennzoil 2 cycle air cooled motor oil. Rode the scooter to work this week. Ran great.

Ok, over the next couple months I am going to fix that scooter up some. Hopefully culminating is a complete re-finishing and re-painting of the whole scooter. Yeah... It's going to be hard. I'm shooting for January to be when I'm applying the paint... Atlanta's coldest month.

next up, I have to order the Haynes Vespa P & PX Scooters 1978-2003 Service Manual from Amazon.com
