Hey all,

I once again find myself needing a small, cheap part for my P (this time an oil sight glass). Since we don't have a scooter store in town, I have to order it to be shipped. As much as I like Scooterworks, their minimum shipping charge is often more than the part.
Where do you like to get your parts? Anywhere with free/cheap shipping?

I'm probably antisocial, or maybe I prefer the company of robots, but I like it when I can order stuff entirely online. That narrows down the playing field a lot, since not many shops have their entire stock on the web.

Hijacking my own thread, my wife and I were just in Portland for the first time a few weeks ago, and loved it. Now we're thinking of maybe moving there. What's the scooter scene like?

I get stock parts from Athens Scooter Co. They have the stock PX150 Part catalog online. I've ordered a bunch of things from them. Make sure to enter the discount coupon codes when you order.

I needed a tiny brake clip once and didn't want to place an entire order. Chad ordered one for me along with his stuff he was ordering anyway, then mailed me my part.

See if you can jump on an order with someone else.

Thanks everybody! I ended up getting the part from Scooter Mercato. Their website is good, and I like their $6.40 flat fee shipping.
I still ended up paying almost as much in shipping as for the part, but that's alright.
I've been happy with both ScooterWest and Scooterworks in the past. I love the Scooterworks catalog, I learned more from that than from the Haynes manual.
It's because the existence of shops like these that I ended up getting an old Vespa in the first place.

I've used you guys for bigger orders in the past, and will probably take advantage again in the winter, when I'll rip the thing apart again to make it less reliable.
