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

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

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

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

Relax.

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

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

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

Scenario 2:

Can a cop pull you over walking home asking why you are out so late?

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

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

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.

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

What’s the practice?

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.

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.

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

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

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.

Yes, lock it up.

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

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

First, relax.

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.
