The riding selfie: a dangerous new trend?

‘And this is me just before I crashed’

DAVID Beckham took one recently on a road trip in the US. And now the motorcycle riding selfie appears to be catching on, with pictures like these winning praise on social media.

Several Reddit users have complimented the Kawasaki GPZ500 rider who took the above selfie.

One commented on the shot: ‘Cool as s**t, would definitely try it if I could.’

Another predicted: ‘Cue half of /r/motorcycles wrecking their shit in the next few weeks.’

We’re not sure ‘cool’ is the word we’d use to describe it. But riders have been making their voices heard in our relevant forum discussion on the new trend.
