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.

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

Two scenarios could happen here.

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

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

My boyfriend wants to break up over too many petty arguments. To me, they are molehills because I truly love him & don't really think twice about them. If he loved me would he work through it?

Did that catch you by surprise?

Scenario 2:

In this case:

Why didn't Taylor Swift do Taylor Swift (Taylors version)?

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.

First, relax.

What real evidence is there to believe in legends such as the story of Atlandida or the lost continent of Lemuria?

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

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.

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

What can I do when I'm ugly on both outside and inside? What do I do? Cut myself off from the world to make everyones lives better? I'm a monster. I hurt feelings, and I say what was said to me. I feel like I'm nothing but a burden. What do I do?

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.

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

How do I come out as queer to my best friend in a funny and stupid way?

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

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.

Scenario 1:

Why is the Middle East prone to terrorism?

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

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

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

Why is only the left side of my vagina bleeding, on and off?

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

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

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

Why do some children hate their parents?

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

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

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

My stepdaughter’s mom tells her I’m not a real dance teacher, but my stepdaughter has seen me in action. Why does she still question my abilities?

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

What’s the practice?

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.

Yes, lock it up.

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.

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

Is it wise to choose your family over your honor?

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.

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

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

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.
