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

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.
Did that catch you by surprise?
Look at your side mirrors, and check for possible overtakers behind you.

The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.
This is where practicing some skids and drifts would come in handy.
What’s the practice?
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.
Turn on your flashers, and signal to pull over to the right. Use your right hand if you need to.
In that case, just pray and repent your sins.
So I had to push him. The same way is shown in the picture.
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.
Use both of your brakes to slow down, and finally pull over.

On varying speeds, start with 10 km/h. Purposely lock up your rear wheel.
Scenario 1:
Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.
Learn it with a mountain bike, or even a BMX. Or a smaller displacement bike.

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.
Now, increase the weight, try it on a motorcycle.
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 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.
Relax.
The thing is, your rear wheel will lock up, and you’re skidding and fishtailing, and all sorts of things.
Scenario 2:
You just quit twisting the throttle, you can’t do anything there anyway.
In this case:

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

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

Anyway, depending on your speed you can still control that skid.
The chain got jammed between the swing arm and the sprocket, or Anywhere for that matter.
You’re speeding at 100km/h on a worn-out chain? It’s kinda your fault really.
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.
