After re-reading this thread, it looks to me like the consensus is that:
a) The clunk (or thunk or clank or thwak) could quite possibly normal, but
b) If JPT is concerned that it is not normal, he should bring it to the dealer to have a look-see, and
c) If he comes to a controlled intersection, he is safest by keeping the bike in gear and his eyes on his mirrors, and
d) There is something called a clutch basket and some sort of magic happens inside it that causes the bike to move forward and may also make a sound which is generally harmless. and lastly (though perhpas not a consensus),
e) JPT ought to get a smartphone and/or a video camera so that we can see (and possibly hear) more of his CB1100 adventures.
