I was riding my motorcycle on 2-11-23 heading home on the I75 highway and suddenly the engine stop working. With the bike losing speed I moved towards the shoulder pointing with my hands, the motorcycle stops and never started again. According a preliminary revision the Motor Oil bypassed into the primary due to a defective or failing seal, running out of oil and seizing the engine.
