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

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

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

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

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.

Why do you write?

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

Two scenarios could happen here.

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.

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

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

What’s the practice?

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

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

Why does my iPhone keep on saying I can’t upload photos to iCloud and say it doesn't have enough iCloud storage when it still has space?

Yes, lock it up.

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

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

Did that catch you by surprise?

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

Is Melania still angry that she failed as a model? Why is she so cold and hostile? Why did she blame everyone for her actions in her trite book?

Relax.

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

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.

When do you feel most peaceful ever?

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

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

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 2:

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

First, relax.

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

Scenario 1:

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.

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

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

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

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.

What melts your heart every time without fail?

In this case:

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.

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.
