Keira Knightley becomes a biker

Keira Knightley has been spotted riding a classic Ducati Supersport 750 in Paris.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star donned cream-coloured leathers and mounted the machine as part of an advertising campaign shoot for fashion house Chanel.

She did not need Ducati insurance however, as the bike was mounted on a platform with stabilisers and pulled along, which was probably a wise move considering the high heeled boots Knightley was wearing.

The actress also managed to avoid getting helmet hair, perhaps thanks to the team of stylists on hand.

Ducati announced this week that it will be relocating early next year from Milton Keynes to a purpose-built facility at Silverstone.

The move comes as the Italian manufacturer has outgrown the current offices and wanted to centralise UK operations.
