first 24hrs
Well I have had my Stella about 24hrs....love it so far. I have put 100 miles on it so far. Hoping to do first service on Saturday. My only complaint is that my wrist is killing me. I am not use to shifting.
Anyone else have the sore wrist problem and does it go away?

Any trouble adjusting to using a foot brake?

It's easy to adjust, but it's pretty hard to switch back and forth if you have multiple bikes.
The scary part is that you're more likely to mess up when you're in a panic situation. I rode shifters forever, and I've caught myself trying to clutch-in on the Blur a few times, that's scarier than stomping on a rear brake pedal that's not there.

I pulled hard on the clutch of a my wife's Buddy the other day because a car pulled out in front of me. I only pulled for a split second before I realized it was a brake but still got pulled off the seat. Very scary moment. I put about 1,000 miles on the Buddy before I got the Stella and it still takes a little getting used to when I switch between the two. It's strange that this didn't happen when I was switching between my motorcyle and the Buddy.illnoise wrote:It's easy to adjust, but it's pretty hard to switch back and forth if you have multiple bikes.
