This photo showed up in the middle of another thread and thought more people might see it if it had it's own thread.

Very cool!

Any other photos of Superstars on scooters?

My wife gave a thumbs up when I showed her the picture. Said hope it's his and not just one he rented for the day.

It's good to see Mr. Hanks on a scooter though I wish he would promote the use of proper gear.

I agree about the gear, but for selfish reasons. I have really enjoyed his work over the years from Bosom Buddies to present day. I completely fall into believing he is the character he plays and would hate to see him get hurt. But that's just my selfishness.

Since he is wearing a Half Helmet instead of Full Face, probably the only reason Tom is wearing a helmet at all is the Damn laws.

What happened when we were no longer considered an Adult and may make our own decisions? When did we become slaves instead free men?

Politics and helmet laws in the same post - you have been around here long enough to know better

Hmmm, chocolate Vespa... Actually, I like this colour on a Vespa or Fiat 500. All other vehicle would look silly.

Life is like a box of chocolates
I knew that Tom Hanks had to be a scooter guy.
He is so cool. Also, stepping out on a Vespa - such
class.

Run Forest Run!

I loved it when I saw Gandolfini getting in on the action...
He's probably ordering a "hit", Laughing emoticon .
