I really WANT to love the PA. My 21 was a mess, and when I was back in the ADV market I tried test riding them again. 4 attempts, 2 new 2 lightly used. 2 required a tow truck back to the dealer, 2 never made it out of the parking lot. If HD ever gets them sorted, they're amazing! Hopefully you have one of the good ones. Meanwhile, until they do, I went back to the BMW GS. Had many of them, all rock solid.

Don’t baby it. Do lots of acceleration bursts from 30 to 60 at 2/3 throttle in the first 100 miles. You need to properly seat those piston rings and you only get one chance to do it right.

So funny reading all these comments about the bike being ruined because she didn't break it in properly. Guys stop the madness. Breaking it in is a thing of the past when machine technology was ancient, these laser cut pistons don't need it, that bike will be fine long enough for what she needs, what she is going to do with it before she sells it. Let her enjoy her bike and ride it any way she wants. One more thing, I am a car hauler, I get to watch how the rail yard worker off load new vehicles from the train and race them to the parking spots, vehicles with zero miles, cold, without warming up the engine, just turn it on and floor the gas pedal down the ramp. And then you go to the dealer, buy that same vehicle and you want to properly break it in, the rail yard worker already did that for you. Stop the madness please. In 2021 she got a lightly used 2018 RG Special, she had no idea who broke it in, how was it broken in, she bought it used. She loved the bike, did a bunch of mods, put a pile of miles on it, and just traded it in without any complaints or major issues, there is your proof, technology has changed, vehicles are more reliable, they don't need as much care, and we don't get to keep them long enough anyways so it doesn't matter.

I can relate. Due to some unexpected career changes, I was forced to sell my BMW! It was an R75/6. Bought it new in 1976. It had crash bars, touring tank, freeway pegs, faring, hard case saddle bags, rear luggage wrack, and rear seat back rest. Set up to tour. I solo camped through the US and Canada several times. Owned it for 24yrs! Experienced some of the best days of my life riding ole 'BLUE'. Felt like I sold my soul when I sold her.

My GPS brought me onto a gravel road through corn fields, going to garden of the gods in Illinois. I was riding 2 up with my wife on my RG. I was more tired from the 5 miles on deep loose gravel than I was from the other 200 miles of riding. Not fun riding an 800 lb bike, 2 up, with a weekends worth of stuff on gravel. Luckily it was all flat. I bet that 40 miles took a toll on you.

Congrats on the new PA! I am a recent new PA owner myself so i'm stoked more people are getting into them. I dont have any other touring bikes so this is my touring bike, i've got the luggage (HD sport luggage) and i've already done a few short trips. Upgrades i recommend.. Mean city cycles do a seat reshaping (owner has a PA too) which is a night and day difference. Screaming eagle exhaust with the baffle removed. Not too loud, but sounds WAAAY better. Beefier skid plate. A1 pull back risers (i'm tall, needed it!). And the biggest is some lighting. The PA is weak on that.. check out Denali. I haven't done a ton of off roading but a 50/50 tire will be needed if you are really taking it off road for lengths of time. Anyway, looking forward to the PA content and ride safe.

Congrats! When you were riding Appa to Farrow for the last time, it reminded me of when I sold my 2018 RG back to the dealership in 2019 because we were trying to get debt free. It's the only time I named a bike, and she got her name as I was riding her back to the dealership. I turned on the radio, and the song 'Don't you wanna stay' by Kelly Clarkson and Jason Aldean was playing. I knew in that moment that the bike's name was 'Kelly' lol. I just got back on 2 wheels last month (a 2008 Electra Glide limited classic) and there's no official name just yet. And being that I didn't have a tire inflator for my new (to me) bike, I went ahead and ordered the Fanttik tire inflator via your affiliate link. Should be here later today :)
