What do you do you do if your motorcycle chain snaps while riding on the highway?

If you have an extra chain, I assume you know how to fit a new one into your bike. Do it. If not, call a tow truck. Calling a friend is exciting too. I’ll tell you why in a moment.

Scenario 1:

The chain got jammed between the swing arm and the sprocket, or Anywhere for that matter.

On an empty road, much easier if it’s some kind of rough road. Some dust, rubble, or even sand could make the practice easier. Actually, sand would make it hard if you don’t have enough power.

This is where practicing some skids and drifts would come in handy.

Focus your gaze up ahead, look as straight as you can. There’s no point in looking at your skidding tire. You can check your mirrors, but the action of skidding itself is warning enough for the other people following you. Unless they are blind, then you’re dead.

So I had to push him. The same way is shown in the picture.

Anyway, depending on your speed you can still control that skid.

I remember doing this once with my friend. The exact same thing happened to him. His drive chain just snapped and quit, and his rear wheel locked up.

Why does having a college degree no longer carry the same prestige as before? People don't have the same respect for the educated.

And at that point, depending of your speed, you also need some kind of luck.

You can only do this up to 20km/h. Anything faster than that, you’re just calling for another more fatal accident. But hey, I’m not saying it’s impossible.

And at this point, you really can’t do anything about whatever I’m going to write here. What it will take is some practice and muscle memory.

First, relax.

The guy on the left is the one with a working motorcycle, he’s the one pushing the other guy.

Why is only the left side of my vagina bleeding, on and off?

Don’t try to squeeze the clutch either, nothing you can do about it. So don’t even try to change gears, but I do understand that sometimes it’s a force of habit.

Yes, lock it up.

Look at your side mirrors, and check for possible overtakers behind you.

Why do liberals think it is okay to steal votes while the rest of us obey the law(s)?

Learn it with a mountain bike, or even a BMX. Or a smaller displacement bike.

You just quit twisting the throttle, you can’t do anything there anyway.

The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.

Do Europeans typically set heating to higher temperatures in the winter compared to Canadians and Americans if the temperature at a given moment is similar?

Now, increase the weight, try it on a motorcycle.

The thing is, your rear wheel will lock up, and you’re skidding and fishtailing, and all sorts of things.

What’s the practice?

Relax.

Scenario 2:

On varying speeds, start with 10 km/h. Purposely lock up your rear wheel.

What is the most sentimental item you inherited from someone dear to you and what does it mean to you?

This could be tiring, but it’s doable. And you need to have a strong leg.

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

Now that you have learned it. The muscle memory should kick in once the scenario calls for it.

What is the best way to get revenge on people who hurt you?

Two scenarios could happen here.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

Did that catch you by surprise?

Should I become an interior designer or not in today's world?

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

You’re speeding at 100km/h on a worn-out chain? It’s kinda your fault really.

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

Now, do the skids as many times as you can. Make skid marks, and do a full cornering drift. Anything, really, and just have fun with it.

Going back to your scenario 2, your rear wheel is locked up. Relax, and let your muscles remember what to do.

Use both of your brakes to slow down, and finally pull over.

Turn on your flashers, and signal to pull over to the right. Use your right hand if you need to.
