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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Scenario 2:

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.

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

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.

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

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.

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

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.

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

What’s the practice?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Two scenarios could happen here.
