we need photos. unless the screw is properly identified it could lead others to tamper with their machines in a dangerous and unnecessary manner. please do the responsible thing.

Sure it was a screw? Was it glowing? That big bright screw in the center of your headset might be your headlight bulb.

I want to try this too...
Can you let me know what tools you used for this repair? Will I need to look for the SnapOn man to accomplish this on my scooter?

Are these "slotted dumpy drivers" readily available through a Piaggio service center?

That happened to a friend of mine! And he was wearing an open-face helmet. Now he has no chin.

You can remove your own chin with an errant screwdriver stab.

You can pretty much remove anything with a screwdriver, and sufficient violence...especially if it's unintentional

Ohhhh... with violence. I get it.

I just assumed he had two big phillips head screws holding it on his face, like some sort of robot.

It's the next big thing in passive motorcycle safety gear lost your chin in an accident? Screw a new one on. First models to come out are the "Leno", the "Schumacher", and for those previously inadequate in the chinnage department, the "Stan from American Dad" Laughing emoticon

they're also working on a 'jimmy hill' but that one's going to cost extra:

Dayam, this is a project I cannot do. I just don't have any red screwdrivers. Heck, I don't even have red screws. How much would a dealer charge for this service? Hurry, I need it done urgently, it drives me nuts that it doesn't rattle!
