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?

Yes, lock it up.

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

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 a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

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

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 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.

Why did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.

In this case:

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

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

Why do I sweat so much at the gym?

First, relax.

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

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.

Why do I want to suck cock, after smoking methamphetamine?

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

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

Scenario 1:

Did Muhammad Ali ask Dundee to cut his gloves off before Eddie Futch stopped the fight in Thrilla in Manila?

Did that catch you by surprise?

Scenario 2:

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

How could NASA possibly land on the moon when it's impossible to reach the moon through the Earth's dome? Why are they making up such an obvious lie?

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.

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.

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.

Can a twin flame runner be happy in a karmic relationship?

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

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

What is the difference between the Bible and the Qur'an?

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

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

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

Is it possible for sociopaths to feel genuine remorse for their actions or thoughts towards others, even if they are skilled at hiding it from others?

What’s the practice?

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

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

Why do so many people seem to hate Nickelback? They're competent and entertaining, and while they certainly aren't the absolute best music, they're still a fun listen.

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

Relax.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Is he rejecting me or is there another explanation? Why would a guy choose not to risk the friendship if he has feelings for me?

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.

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.

Two scenarios could happen here.

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.
