New member here. Picked up a '20 FLHC on Thursday. Didn't go there to buy, I should have known to stay out of there.
The manager was wanting to sale a bike, so I was the sucker she had to deal with.
Anyway, she started giving me numbers and I bit. Damn hard having this thing delivered in the rain and then it snowed that night. I did manage about 15 miles around the "neighborhood" today. I'm loving it. Even took the wife for a short ride.

Great looking bike, I read your other post and was planning to respond when I read the last post showing you had made this purchase. Based on all of the information you shared on the RK I think you made a much better decision.
Congratulations... Ride safe and enjoy

She's a stunner, WK. Think you and the new mistress will be very happy together.

Speaking of mistresses, where did your wife sit? LOL

I did just the opposite gave the wife a short ride and then went on the bike.

Congrats on the new bike. I have an 18 FLHCS and love it.

In my lap...of course. LOL
The PP and saddle bags I took off just for fun, for my first ride. I think she looks better without them.
