I never thought this day would come. And the way it happened is just about the most embarrassing part. I was coming up my driveway towards the garage, going about 2-3MPH and dang garden hose flipped me on my side. Yes, the garden hose! Well, I quickly developed a deep appreciation for sliders. Not a scratch on the bike except for a scuff mark on the signal. I decided to ride down the street to see how the bike was. I heard a loose metallic rattle coming from the foot clutch area, but upon inspection, I could not find anything loose. My question: Is there anything I should check out on the bike after something like this happens? Is it safe to just keep riding it if I can't spot anything wrong? And what could the clinking sound be?
