Hey Nigel welcome.
Aren't you so lucky to have such a good bud :evil) .
As for the avetars, you'll have to find your own. might have to make it smaller to fit first.
You could try this site

Nigel welcome aboard first.

Secondly welcome to the world of the Suuuuuuuuuuper Blackbird. I can only imagine you're going to be well pleased with your excellent choice.

Shame you're going away though :cry)

You're amongst a great bunch here - really looking forward to meeting up soon...check out Pit Lane area of forums for ride out information. Oh and can you make Taz's pie and peas run? - (becoming a legendary get-together)

Oh re avatars, if you find something you really like and it's perhaps a bit big, drop us a line with your hoped avatar, we'll resize and post it for ya

Really lookin forward to the new bike but I will be sorry to lose that addictive V twin sound and the car alarms going off as i ride by lol .

It will be replaced with the sound of yourself laughing from pure joy and excitement within your own helmet. :-)

And until you get used to the power you may occasionally hear the sound of you saying, "Whoa !! Holy shit!!" :eek)

I'm with Taxi.....

"when does it stop pulling?"

Erm....... You are unlikely to find out, I've had mine 3 years, and once I'm going so fast that I can't focus on the vanishing point of the road any more, I tend to give up.......
