My First Crash

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?
