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

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

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

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

Scenario 1:

Did that catch you by surprise?

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

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

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

Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

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.

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

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.

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

Scenario 2:

What’s the practice?

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

Relax.

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.

Should you track your blood sugar with a continuous glucose monitor? - NPR

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.

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

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

Can ringing in the ears be a sign of spiritual awakening?

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.

Two scenarios could happen here.

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

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

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.

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

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

Could some kind lady post me a photo of her hairy spread pussy? It has become extremely difficult to find new amateur photos and I would be infinitely grateful.

Yes, lock it up.

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.

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

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

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

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.
