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

Did that catch you by surprise?
Scenario 1:
Now, increase the weight, try it on a motorcycle.
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.
Don’t ride a heavy bike.
And at that point, depending of your speed, you also need some kind of luck.

Relax.
Scenario 2:
Turn on your flashers, and signal to pull over to the right. Use your right hand if you need to.
Anyway, depending on your speed you can still control that skid.
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.
On varying speeds, start with 10 km/h. Purposely lock up your rear wheel.

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.
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.
Look at your side mirrors, and check for possible overtakers behind you.
Now that you have learned it. The muscle memory should kick in once the scenario calls for it.
You’re speeding at 100km/h on a worn-out chain? It’s kinda your fault really.

This could be tiring, but it’s doable. And you need to have a strong leg.
Use both of your brakes to slow down, and finally pull over.

The thing is, your rear wheel will lock up, and you’re skidding and fishtailing, and all sorts of things.
The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.
So I had to push him. The same way is shown in the picture.
You just quit twisting the throttle, you can’t do anything there anyway.
In that case, just pray and repent your sins.
Remember that tip on calling a friend?
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.
Learn it with a mountain bike, or even a BMX. Or a smaller displacement bike.

This is where practicing some skids and drifts would come in handy.
The guy on the left is the one with a working motorcycle, he’s the one pushing the other guy.
First, relax.
The chain got jammed between the swing arm and the sprocket, or Anywhere for that matter.
Two scenarios could happen here.
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.
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?
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.
