A friend of mine sold me a basket case 77 Vespa Ciao two months ago for 20 bucks and i just got it up and running.the weather here in Sacramento is getting to cold to ride but this scooter rocks.more fun than I expected.I'm going to make a chopper frame for it over the winter time and try to squeez a little more power out of the engine.If you know of any web sites that sell performance parts for vespa mopeds,let me know..thanx........Wolfman
