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

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

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

Scenario 2:

Yes, lock it up.

In this case:

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

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

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:

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

What’s the practice?

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

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

Did that catch you by surprise?

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

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.

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.

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

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

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

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.

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

Do they have internet in hell? Most people on here seem like damned souls or demons.

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.

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

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

Can a Trump supporter explain what was wrong with what Bishop Budde said to Donald Trump?

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

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

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

Trump is shot, tackled by SS agents, yet then stands, defiant, with fist high, and 52 hours later, walks into the Republican Convention to thunderous applause. Is there anything that can stop this man, who loves his country? Does he get your vote?

Relax.

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

Two scenarios could happen here.

Could I still use a bonnet even if I’m white/have straight hair? I just want one to wear to bed for sensory purposes.

First, relax.

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

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

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.

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.
