The Problem
Your motor scooter has broken down and you need to get it home or to somewhere where it can be fixed. What do you do?
No. 1 – The Romanian Solution
You get a friend with a scooter to attach a tow-rope to the front of your scooter and to the back of his to tow you through the rush hour traffic.
No.2 – The Sicilian Solution
You get a friend to ride closely behind you on his scooter propelling you forward by resting his foot against your rear number plate. This gives you the advantage of using his lights in the dark as yours obviously don’t work.

This one is easy. As an experienced motorcyclist who has discovered that every Italian child on their 125cc scooter is way faster than me on my 1300cc superbike, here is the solution. Never, ever, under any circumstances, be in front. They take it as a personal challenge. So, stay behind. Hook a bungee onto the back of their scoot, hold a very large, very sharp, knife in your left hand (the right hand works the front brake) and the instant the italian youth heads off in a a direction/speed/style that you don't feel comfortable with, chop the bungee. The severed bungee will ping forwards and smite the Italian youth smartly between the shoulder blades. And that will concentrate his mind. I have motorcycled through Rome, and up the Italian Riviera. And survived!
