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?

Two scenarios could happen here.

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

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

Did you use the internet during the DOS era? Can you describe your experience? How were images displayed on the black screen when everything was just text-based commands?

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

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

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

Did that catch you by surprise?

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

Why is the mainstream media, traditionally liberal except for Fox, not reporting on Trump like he's a traditional candidate who has ideas, values, and a concern for the common good?

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

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

In this case:

What are the logical reasons against requiring an ID to vote in the USA? If the government offered to provide IDs for this purpose I fail to see why people are against it.

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.

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

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

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

Relax.

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

If Andrew Tate said that women only should be on the kitchen, why do Democrats want to elect Kamala Harris?

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.

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

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

Can you share the entire summary of your spiritual life?

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.

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.

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.

Yes, lock it up.

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.

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

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

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

Anyone think Andrew Tate can become prime minister of the UK with Elon Musk backing using X?

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

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?

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

Scenario 2:

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.

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

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.

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