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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Scenario 1:

Relax.

Two scenarios could happen here.

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

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

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

What’s the practice?

Did that catch you by surprise?

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

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

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

In this case:

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

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.

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

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

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

Scenario 2:

June's full 'Strawberry Moon' illuminates the night sky next week: Here's how to see it - Space

Yes, lock it up.

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.

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

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.

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

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

Do Flat Earthers exist today? If so, where do they live?

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.

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

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

Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

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

First, relax.

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

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

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

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.

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.

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.
