well it all started with a small tick. (valve slap). i kept riding it. the noise got louder and then started became horrible. one night on my way home from work the oil light came on and my bike made a loud bang. it was done. so i called my buddy and we threw it in the truck to take her home.

but yeah it sounded horrid.
