Advice to prevent motorcycle accidents can be funny

There is a tradition of offering lists of advice - ten top tips to do certain things - and avoiding a motorcycle accident is no exception. The internet is naturally a method through which these lists can spread, but also makes it seem almost impossible to find the original source of the advice. This does, however, give it a flavour of truth - why else would so many people agree to have the same advice on their websites?

One such list is the Twenty Axioms of Motorcycle Riding, which contains gems like "Riding isn't dangerous. Crashing is dangerous." Despite the humorous tone of some of these axioms - "You know you've left the center stand down when you're in 1st gear at 4000 rpm going nowhere" - the overall message that runs through most of them is about riding safely so as to avoid a motorbike crash.

These safety messages vary from the simple command to slow down - "No one has ever hit something too slow" - to funnier versions, like "Never let a motorcycle take you somewhere your brain didn't get to three seconds earlier." These are good messages to be out in the world, as anyone - relative, doctor or personal injury lawyer - who has been involved in the aftermath of a bike accident will confirm.

Whereas normal safety messages may be ignored by some, it's tempting to hope that flavouring these axioms with humour may increase the audience for their message. After all, "The two most useless things to a rider are the braking distance behind you and nine-tenths of a second ago."
