Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I will be riding along and the bell will ding and the speedometer goes down, the
gas gauge goes down.  Sometimes I loose power altogether, most times it
picks back up and straightens out.  Only a few times I have has to stop, put
the car in park and restart it to go on.
