That's a lot of things to add for such a simple feature! If I remember right, the heads are only 15px wide in low-res, and 30px wide in high-res.
I suggested this earlier, so people could draw on the faces, but you probably didn't see that because there is a bug in navigating the forum. If you have RsrcEdit, you may be able to change the drawing of the low-res guy's head with that. I was at least able to use that to draw on the wheels.
But each TBMP (Palm Bitmap format) is a single "resource", but it contains multiple pictures for multiple resolutions and bit depths. If you modify these bitmaps, you may erase a necessary picture, and you will have to reinstall Bike or Die! The problem is, RsrcEdit cannot load the 16-bit graphics used for the high-res display, so it will erase them, so you cannot run Bike or Die! in high-res mode. So only use RsrcEdit if you want to play in low-res mode.
I think you will find the biker's head is too small to draw much.

for a menu under display options make two buttons, one to draw, import, or take a picture if your palm has a camera, highlight the portion you want to be the face and hit save, or ok. the second button would be for the death face, do the same but make it a little different or you could just draw on the previous face to make it funny looking.
