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

First, relax.

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

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.

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

Did that catch you by surprise?

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

If a cat is feminine in German, what article do you give to a male cat?

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

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.

In this case:

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

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

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

Can the belief of not worshipping Christ held by Jehovah's Witnesses be disproven using scripture alone?

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

Two scenarios could happen here.

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

Is a man over 50 not married no kids a red flag?

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

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.

What is the most inappropriate thing your wife has done in front of you?

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

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

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

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

Relax.

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.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

Scenario 1:

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Scenario 2:

What are some alternatives to wearing a bra? Why do some women feel pressure to wear bras even though there may not be any benefits?

Yes, lock it up.

What’s the practice?

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

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

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

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.

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.
