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

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
