Began a slow ride on a 55 degree day , was warming it up gently and it began to miss like it was running out of gas and SEVERE oil smoke began coming from exhaust.

Sounds like maybe broke a ring or it's stuck. Old school fix for stuck rings is to fill cylinders with Marvels Mystery Oil, leave alone for a couple days, drain and try it.

You probably broke a cylinder ring. The cylinders are dry when you haven't started them for a while and sometimes that extra friction catches a ring just right and breaks it. A break in the ring kills compression and therefore power. Also the ring allows oil to come up from the oil pan into the combustion chamber where it doesn't burn and you get all the smoke.
Run a compression check on each cylinder by putting a compression tester in the spark plug hole. If one reading is a lot lower than the average...you found your culprit
I had a similar experience with a 1970 Plymouth Duster, at 10 years old (1980) I flushed the engine and started running a little bit higher detergent oil and it also started smoking as you described,turned out with the engine as clean as it got the clearances of different internal oil retaining parts such as valve guides and piston rings were slightly bigger causing my engine to smoke,
Sounds like something is binding. or belt is slipping. Does it smoke when not in gear. Check and see if everything turns by hand when out of gear and no motor running. Make sure its not binding anyplace. If that is ok Start it up and just idle the engine and try to run the deck and put it in gear. If that stalls it out then you do have a problem.
the oil light comes on any time the bike isn't running or pressure is low. sounds like u ran out of gas though. did u switch over 2 the reserve or is it completly empty
It is probably a oil pressure problem. If there is some sort of small blockage in an oil journal it could stop oil from flowing to the lifters which would cause the the tapping noise. at this point the best thing to do would be to try and flush out the engine with some sort of desludging agent. One thing i usualy do is drain the oil and re-fill it with atf and run it for about half an hour or an hour and then re-drain and replace with normal engine oil. transmission fluid contains tonnes of detergents and should help clean out any blockages.
