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

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

What’s the practice?
Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.
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.
What happens when you need emergency surgery in countries with universal healthcare vs the US?
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.
You just quit twisting the throttle, you can’t do anything there anyway.

Scenario 1:
And at that point, depending of your speed, you also need some kind of luck.

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.
This could be tiring, but it’s doable. And you need to have a strong leg.
The guy on the left is the one with a working motorcycle, he’s the one pushing the other guy.
In this case:
The thing is, your rear wheel will lock up, and you’re skidding and fishtailing, and all sorts of things.
Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?
Turn on your flashers, and signal to pull over to the right. Use your right hand if you need to.
So I had to push him. The same way is shown in the picture.
In that case, just pray and repent your sins.
What’s a historical event you wish more people talked about?
Look at your side mirrors, and check for possible overtakers behind you.
Use both of your brakes to slow down, and finally pull over.
The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.
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.
Did that catch you by surprise?
On varying speeds, start with 10 km/h. Purposely lock up your rear wheel.

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.
First, relax.

Yes, lock it up.
