Despite having a box of parts and service products for my Vespa; I live in a townhome community where doing work at home isn't feasible.
The two closest places that work on Vespa are Moto Europa in St. Louis but the best way to get there as I 44 which is not Vespa travel friendly; The other place is in Osage Beach Missouri-Seebold motorsports...The route to Seebold looks like a minor highway is more realistic for getting to and from on the Vespa; my big question is now has anyone heard of this place and can anyone speak to their reputation? Their website looks like it's been hacked...so first-hand experiences are greatly appreciated!

"Hacked"? No, I think you are just looking at the wrong website. The website you want is for Yacht Club Powersports, which Vespa calls Vespa Osage Beach. I have no experience with them however.

Do you have a local motorcycle repair shop...most will work on Vespas as well. It's not as good a dedicated scooter repair shop, but it has to be closer than Rolla is to Osage Beach for sure!

There is a local Honda/Polaris shop that seems nice; they aren't too motivated to work on stuff they haven't sold...I was quoted a month for service.

What're they gonna do to you. First time at least they'll give you a warning and you'll have gotten away with it at least a half-dozen times before that.

Been an apartment/condo dweller all my life, never stopped me. Just need to be neat and considerate of your neighbors.

We have a group over here that gets together and works on the Vespa's. We do rides and workshop days. Post a thread and see who lives near you. Might be able to do some wrenching days. Nobody lives that far when you live on a island. MO is much bigger so it might not be feasible. Good luck
