I can't begin to count the times my shovel had strange noises. Always found them. Can you give a description of the noises are at different speeds? does it sound mettalic or more like a whining? Lesson 1. Don't ever get real close to an open primary when it is running. You were very lucky all you got was a scratch.

Sounds like stitches. If your wife is like mine, you won't live this one down for awhile. Good luck

when you get out of the ER...list the bike on Craigs, then buy a Twinkie...you'll be a lot happier in the end...Shovels make lots of sounds...and need lots of attention...unless you rode through the 70's...you aint gonna like it...
