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

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

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

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

Have you ever heard of the god Priapus being the same as the god Phosphorus?

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

Scenario 1:

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

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, 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.

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

Does Donald Trump have low self-esteem?

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.

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

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

Why do Brits drive a lot more dangerously compared to Americans? Is there just no courtesy when driving in the UK?

Did that catch you by surprise?

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.

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.

How would you describe modern day Russian society, beyond just politics?

What’s the practice?

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

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

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

In this case:

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

First, relax.

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

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

How can I get my ex-husband to love me again?

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.

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

Relax.

What are some hard truths that MAGA needs to hear?

Two scenarios could happen here.

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.

Scenario 2:

Netanyahu says ‘we’ll do what we need to do’ with Iran’s leader - Financial Times

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

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

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

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.

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.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

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

Yes, lock it up.
