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

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

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

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

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.

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

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

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

Scenario 1:

Why don’t the little sugar breeches gun owners understand that life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows?

What’s the practice?

In this case:

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

What is one small habit that has transformed your life in unexpected ways?

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

Scenario 2:

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

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

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

Yes, lock it up.

Will you share your wife? Can she take both of us at the same time?

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

Did that catch you by surprise?

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

Relax.

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.

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

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.

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.

What seemingly minor decision or moment in your past ended up having a massive impact on your entire life trajectory?

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

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

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.

Two scenarios could happen here.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

Is using an ambulance really free in countries with universal healthcare, or are there hidden costs like deductibles that people should know about?

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.
