Default Thanksgiving
One to remember this year; got a call today that my '17 FLHR finally arrived. Ordered about 6 weeks ago, and the shop is installing torque cam, heavy breather and cannons before I pick up on Friday.

I've ridden batwings for a few years now after climbing off my FLHRC, but I've always missed the clean lines of the King. Now that the wife doesn't ride I'm going back to the basics.

I'm not gonna sleep the next couple days...😀

You all have a great Thanksgiving too!

Congratulations on coming back to the King. I did the exact same thing in 15. Ride safe and have a good Thanksgiving.
