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

What’s the practice?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

First, relax.

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

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

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.

Relax.

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

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.

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.
