Hey, I just joined myself. I just got a 1200C not too long ago. I'm a little on the heavier side so an 883 was a little small but still...it rocks.

Sporty, go to "My Profile" at the top of the page. Go to your "signature" line and add your picture properties inside [img]properties[/img].

If you need more help, feel free to ask. That's what we're here for!
