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

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.

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

Scenario 2:

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

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

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

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

Did that catch you by surprise?

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.

Scenario 1:

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.

First, relax.

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

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

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

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

Two scenarios could happen here.

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.

Yes, lock it up.

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.

In this case:

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

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

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.

What’s the practice?

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

Relax.

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

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.
