KUALA LUMPUR: A video of a motorcyclist slapping his bike seat and bouncing along as if riding a galloping horse has gone viral on social media, eliciting both amusement and concern from viewers.

The clip, recorded from inside a vehicle and posted by user Muhammad Fariz Fadzil on Facebook, shows a motorcycle travelling in front of the car.

The motorcyclist is first seen slapping the back of his seat in 'giddy-up' style and then bouncing on the motorcycle while continuing to slap it, before the video ends with him standing up while still riding the bike.

The person recording the video can be heard laughing throughout the footage.

The post was captioned: "Like riding a horse. Not just in KL (Kuala Lumpur), even in SP (Sungai Petani) there are all sorts of people."

Many users responded with humour, focusing on how the rider appeared to be mimicking horse riding.

Amir Aziz commented: "No horse, so a motorcycle will do."

Al Mitra wrote, "Didn't get enough of his illegal street racing days, it's carried on into old age," while Badrul Benetton joked, "On the way to the bank because his salary and three months' bonus just came in."

Others, however, criticised the act of recording and sharing the video, suggesting the rider could be facing personal difficulties that has led to the odd behaviour.

Ashadi Saleh said, "You recorded it, then you spread someone's shame, and you laughed happily after spreading another person's shame." - NST
