Not supposed to thump like that... >:(

I hopped on the bike the other day after it had been idling in the driveway for about a minute and started to drive off. As soon as I began to move there was a decidedly noticeable thumping that started. Almost like something caught in the wheel. It feels like someone is hitting the frame of the bike repeatedly with a hammer.
I didn't have time to mess with it that day, and I left in my car. The next day when I got on, it did the same thing. Taking it slowly up and down the street, I found that the knocking increased as the speed did, and it was less pronounced when I had the clutch engaged. WTF? I haven't the slightest clue, and Ive been to busy to work on it since then, but if any of you know what it could be, don't be shy. Thnx.

When I find out why there is no current in the electrical system, I'll take it for a ride to see if the knocking is gone.
