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?

In this case:

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.

Do Americans realize how much goodwill and credibility they've lost in the past two weeks?

Relax.

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.

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

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.

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

What are your funniest "lost in translation" moments if you grew up speaking more than one language?

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

Did that catch you by surprise?

Yes, lock it up.

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

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

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

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

Scenario 1:

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

Honestly! Do you people actually watch all that nonsense produced by the nitwit network television stations or do they just claim you do?

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

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.

Kuorans, what is your January Spotify wrapped?

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

First, relax.

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

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

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.

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

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

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.

How does the brain decide "what" thought to attach to a feeling?

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

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

What’s the practice?

Scenario 2:

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

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

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.

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

Two scenarios could happen here.

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.
