Have you ever seen that Steven King movie when machines tried to kill humans lol ?

They're coming for us!!!

I'll bet you mean the movie "Maximum Overdrive" made back in 1986...lol...I loved it even though it was really campy...This was the one and only time that Steven King not only wrote the screen play from his book, but also directed the movie too...It was considered a disaster at the box office...lol...That taught him to just stick to writing the books, let someone else make the movies...lol.

I'm just a veritable cornucopia of redundant, utterly useless, encyclopaedical knowledge of obscure ancient trivia and information...lol...lol.

I wanted to go grab a couple things from the grocery store today. The temperature here went up to 52°f. I decided to ride. The store is just a few blocks away. I took the side streets, so it was all up and down hills. Coming back home I missed a turn and went up one of the steepest hills around here. The engine was struggling even with me pedaling. It was about to stall. I stood up and was pedaling hard. Almost to the top of the hill now. It stalled, abrupt stop, and I tipped over. I almost made it. I wasn't hurt. Just a little scrape on the hand. The bike is OK. Just scraped the handgrip and the clutch lever. I will stay off of that hill from now on.

Gloves and hard hat every time I ride. We be puttin a motor on sompin we shount and the ground is hard.

Glad you weren't hurt but sounds like you need an IGH transmission.

I never ride without gloves for that reason

Any pics of that hill Michael? Maybe we can help you make it up it with some suggestions. From the bottom looking up and say about where you stalled.

I'll be upgrading from my standard bike helmet to a DOT certified skull-cap very soon, personally...

Sounds like you did good and kept your hands on the bars and your feet on the pedals when you fell over.
Good MTB technique, let the bars and pedals absorb most of the shock.

I wish. My Carhart absorbed a lot though.
