Motorcycles rode down the sexy road of advertising over the weekend as British actress Keira Knightley went retro on a vintage Ducati.

But before bikers look around at the next light for the latest addition of beauty to the riding community, we are sad to report Knightley’s appearance in the saddle was simply for the shooting of her latest Chanel advertisement and not from some new ignited passions.

Being shot at Concorde Place in Paris, France on Sunday afternoon Keira wrapped her body with a figure hugging beige cat suit adorned by a vintage style helmet and matching boots. But it was all for show, as was the Ducati which was rigged with training wheels and towed during the shooting.

Not only will Knightley be missing from the next star-studded bike night, but the 25-year-old British actress is taking shore leave for the next voyage of Disney’s "Pirates of the Caribbean".

"It was a completely fantastic experience, and it was an amazingly large portion of my life,” the actress has reportedly said about reprising her role of Elizabeth Swann in the upcoming ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’, “but I don't think I need to go there again."

While riders may not see Knightley leaning into the curves anytime soon, at least we'll always have Paris.
