I'm Paul from Salt Lake City, Utah. I own a 2006 XL1200C and am happy to be joining the forums in order to learn a lot more about it and hopefully turn it into a unique Sportster. I've been riding motorcycles since I was 12 years old (started on a 2 stroke YZ125), and have been loving it ever since. I owned a GSXR750 when I was a teenager, but sold that when I had a friend kill himself on an R1. That's when I decided that it was time to join the Harley crowd. I'm really interested in the Evo motors and am excited to push some power with mine, as it is stock as a rock at the moment. It'd be nice to quiet my friends down that still ride crotch rockets now that I've turned to the "dark side." Luckily I finally convinced my fiancee to move back to Arizona so I can ride year round again!
