US Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria has been photographed enjoying a motorbike ride with her husband Tony Parker.

The Latino star sat on the two-wheeled vehicle as her other half, who would need motorbike insurance to legally ride the auto, ferried them to a lunch date in Los Angeles.

However, the actress attracted some attention for her four-inch snakeskin heels, which some may consider unsuitable footwear for a bike ride, although Eva was wearing a crash helmet.

The Daily Mail noted that regular motorbike riders often prefer to wear protective boots to prevent "ugly injuries" to their feet if they are involved in an accident.

However, the basketball player's wife appeared to have no such concerns as she was lacking riding gloves or a jacket, with no wind shield on her helmet.

Fellow US actor Brad Pitt revealed he is also a bike insurance customer this week when he was snapped on his vehicle in Los Angeles.

The Seven star, 45, broke down on his motorbike in front of photographers but rather than call his motorbike insurance broker he made an attempt at fixing the vehicle himself.

In the end, Pitt had to leave his bike on the street and hitch a lift with a member of the paparazzi, reports the Daily Mail.
