One Split Second Logo, Making every ride a safer one

for motorcyclists, by motorcyclists

Every rider has a story...

Some are about unforgettable rides and lessons learnt along the way. Others are about near misses, mistakes, close calls, or moments that changed the way they ride forever.

Your input

This section is dedicated to those stories.

The experiences shared here come from real riders, with different backgrounds, different bikes, and different levels of experience. Some stories may make you think, some may teach you something new, and some may simply remind you that we're all still learning every time we throw a leg over a motorcycle.

Alongside rider testimonies, you'll also find practical tips and advice submitted by members of the riding community. Knowledge gained through years on the road can be invaluable, and sometimes a simple piece of advice can make all the difference.

Your Impact

What your story will help do...

At One Split Second, we believe some of the most powerful lessons don't come from manuals or textbooks – they come from fellow riders.

Because if sharing one experience helps one rider make a better decision, then it's worth sharing.

Tips from other Motorcyclists/Organisations

System Advanced Rider Coaching

On the approach to a junction where a vehicle is likely to cross your path, have a contingency to aim for the rear of it. I've dealt with 100's of collisions and near misses. The driver of the offending vehicle either stops or continues, never have they reversed back into the gap they came from. Exploit that gap, if nothing else, the rear of most vehicles is lighter than the front

One Split Second Information

One of the most important skills advanced riders develop is learning to look where they want the motorcycle to go. Rather than staring at the obstacle, they actively search for the safe path around it. When approaching a bend, keep your vision up and look as far through the corner as possible. This gives your brain more information, more time to react, and helps the motorcycle follow a smooth, controlled line.
