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

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.

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

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

In this case:

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.

Has Pope Francis signed a document that gay men can now become priests?

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.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

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.

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

Scenario 1:

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

Why do men like low maintenance women?

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

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

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

When do you start "growing old"?

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

What’s the practice?

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

Why do flat Earthers exist? Why can’t I see the Sun at night? Is it because Earth is not flat?

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

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

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

If you received hand-me-downs as a child, how did they make you feel?

Two scenarios could happen here.

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

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.

Relax.

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

First, relax.

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

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

Did that catch you by surprise?

What parts of the Bible, if any, are inappropriate to read to children? Why?

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

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

Yes, lock it up.

Scenario 2:

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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