'Mode': AROUND
Category: Motorcycle
Getting TO/AROUND: You know the saying "when in Rome..." Well to do as the Romans do you MUST rent a scooter, or find a resident with one willing to let you hop on the back. One of my most beautiful moments in Rome occured at 4AM whipping by the Roman forum all lit up at night on the back of a scooter.
Be careful though, I have seen more accidents since I have been here. And, you must wear a helmet. A friend of mine has a very funny story. She was getting a ride on a scooter but the owner only had one helmet. They got pulled over and her friend ended up talking his way out of a ticket by saying that he had this opportunity to sleep with an american girl so he had to take the risk of riding without a helmet!!! The officer let him go. Now only in Italy would that be a significant excuse!!!!!
