Re: ticking noise
They really screwed the Oompa Loompas in the remake. There had to be more than one Oompa Loompa around for the filming but now we'll use this one guy.

Re: ticking noise
No idea what the heck is oompa loompa is but these bikes do make a fair amount of ticking which I believe is pretty par for the course. I usually ride with ear plugs anyway. cuts down on noise fatigue.My daughter and I say "what?" a lot at stops to each other cuz of our self induced hearing impairment. She usually calls me "Bitch" anyway so most of the time it doesn't matter anyway. Ignore, Ignore, Ignore.

Re: ticking noise

Correctly serviced these engines are no noisier than most correctly running motorcycle engines.
