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?

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

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

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.

Why do Democrats keep calling Patriots/President Trump supporters "sore losers"? Do they purposefully ignore the massive fraud that took place, or genuinely think that there was zero fraud?

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

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.

Relax.

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.

First, relax.

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

What’s the practice?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

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

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.

Two scenarios could happen here.

Can I add pencil on top of my dry brush oil painting? Reason being it's easier to draw darker hair colour. Will pencil lead and oil paint interact and cause something horrible?

Yes, lock it up.

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

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

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

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

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.

Did that catch you by surprise?

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

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

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

Scenario 1:

In this case:

Forgotten in a collection, the discovery of this fossil presents a real problem for scientists as it doesn't belong to any known living family. - Farmingdale Observer

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

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.

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

If you’re an atheist, what would be your motive in spreading atheism, and why would you care what others believe?

Scenario 2:

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

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