The Ticking Has Returned
 

The ticking has reasserted itself, becoming all-consuming, like the constant "tick-tock" of a clock inside the crocodile that ate Captain Hook's hand. Is the beast getting close? Speeding down an incline, these thoughts persist.

Very meta.

tick season just started . . .

First Step: Change out the Wheel Set...

Bummer.

"Vee haf vays of making you tock."

I hope it's over quickly.

Quality.
I wonder what makes the OP tick.

turn up the volume...

I think we’re looking for ways to make him not talk.

Also quality.

Second step, first change the meds...

Unlike Captain Hook, the ticking likely denotes danger, but I have yet to discover the “crocodile”. A steady rhythmic ticking that discounts cadence and speed as mere flapdoodle for its incessant beat.

There is a Poe analogy here also but I am too weary to grasp it.

Are you sure it's the bike? Maybe it's coming from inside you, like a heart valve or something. Do you have a Jarvik-7?

If you are actually looking for advice (and based on this and past threads, it doesn't seem like you are) then you should provide a whole bunch of information about the sound, when it occurs, etc.

He was busy for awhile but now free to roam.

What now? You seem to be saying your bike's tick denotes danger, but the croc's ticking clock didnt denote danger to Hook.

The crocodile eats Captain Hook. The ticking absolutely meant 'danger'. The guys hand had already been chewed off and the croc was hunting him.

Never more, for God's sake, let it be never more....

I have two mechanical heart valves. I hope they keep ticking.

Don't encourage him.

The pertinent information lies within the OP's postings in this thread.

The commencement and cessation of the ticking are random, and the ticks are rhythmic with no correlation to speed or cadence.

"I talked of engines—of noisy engines—but still the sound increased—and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound—much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton."
- E.A.P.

Referring to yourself in the third person is a clue to a diagnosis, but not about your bike.

It might be a third person from the sun (one of John Lithgow's finest roles)

The OP utilizes illieism for precisely the same reasons as Julius Caesar.

Good news or merely a brief respite, but the ticking has again ceased.

And look what happened to J.C.
