LOS ANGELES — Tom Hanks' arrival on a beat-up 1981 Yamaha Riva scooter at the Larry Crowne premiere Monday gave a glimmer of hope to the growing subculture of scooter riders across the country.

They are a nifty, economical way to get around. Only drawback is safety as there is no real protection from collision.

Tom Hanks is a likable guy, he could make almost anything on wheels look cool.

I hope the article is not trying to make us believe thet Hanks uses the scooter as his main source of transportation. Odds are there was a limo a block away and he drove the bike the rest of the way.

They were always a neat mode of transportation but I doubt that someone like Hanks at his age with his fame and money would go around on a scooter. Seems like a waste of time.
