New to the PA here, but not new to motorcycles or new to HD. Sold my 2007 Street Glide to buy the PA. Still own a Ducati Multistrada and a vintage Honda. Hoping this works out well enough to go down to one bike. (garage space is at a premium).
Got 34 miles on the PA now and it has to go back in to the dealer. Lower radiator hose melted due to direct contact with the front cylinder header. Hope parts are available.
Here in S.E. Wisconsin, you cannot throw a bratwurst without hitting someone who works for the Motor Company. Sadly, I'm not one of them. Perhaps a retirement gig? I wonder if they need an ambassador in charge of food and beverage? hmmmmmmm?

Greetings. Welcome to the world of PA. I'm a little further north in New London, WI. Have you gotten any big rides yet? I just got back from the Cajun HOG rally in Scott, LA. The bike did wonderful. It was also neat everyone was complaining about the roads (and I wasn't noticing anything wrong with the roads, thanks suspension)! Also I was the only PA there. Easy to pick out my bike in the parking lot. Its the tall one.

The radiator hose comes up as back ordered so you will have to have your dealership and yourself call customer care and complain to get one fast. I had my dealership order one when it made contact and called back a week later to see if they received and thats when they noticed it was on back order until late May. They created a complaint with a ref number and I followed up with a call and the hose show up 2 days later.

I've got a short trip to Crivitz area planned for June and a long one to Bryce Canyon Utah in September. I'll keep you posted on the observations I make along the way.
