haha, welcome to the female mind. I'm sure that not all ladies are like this but when I first started riding it was somewhat unfamiliar to me. I had dirt bike experience but the street is different. Anyway, I had to think about what to do (shift, brake, etc) before I'd do it and if I made a mistake I could get flustered, esp in a group of people. Other than that, how does she like the Buell? I looked at a Blast when I was shopping for bikes but it was wayyy too small for my height
