Parts, parts and more parts. I coupla' tips I can pass along I've learned over the years:
1) Label EVERYTHING! Get yerself some big freezer baggies and write on 'em with a sharpy marker stuff like "bolts that hold the exhaust on". You think you'll remember...but after all these years of gas and oil fumes, you won't.
2) Keep EVERYTHING! No matter how worked over some trashed out part is, there's always some part of a part you can reuse. And if you don't use it for what it was made for, you can always modify it into something else.
3) Those plastic recycling containers work real good for hauling around scooter parts, and the bottom never falls out like cardboard boxes.
