Default somebody help please!!!!!!

Hey everyone so today the weather got a little nicer and i decided to take my bike out for a little ride and to wash it and polish it so i put the battery back in and started the bike right after i left my house i was still in first at about 1500rpm and the bike started to rattle and make a knocking sound i shifted onto second gear and as soon as it got to about 1700 rpm it started doing the same thing so i pulled over to the side of the road and checked that the battery cover, fuse cover, headlight , lisence plate and some other stuff werent loss and everything was ok and it was still doing the same thing so my question is what do you guys think it could be? i have kept it inside my garage on some carpet covered with some blankets and a tarp i did fill the gas tank and added fuel stabilizer.

its a 2012 dyna wide glide it was in storage for about 2 or 3 months

Does it sound like an internal metal sound or like maybe you left a socket lying about under the seat? I would think maybe you forgot a tool somewhere in there.
