Bikerader is one place Cycle Chat is another (similar history to HJ and this place).
All bikes need a shakedown check after 100 or so miles. I had exactly the same problems with my then new second Brommie last year. Cables stretch as they run in, HD is spot on on sorting the gear issue.
Just re-tighten the loose brake shoe making sure it's correctly aligned to the rim then check every nut from front to back; there's lkely to be more than one that has worked loose.
