Yes mate, I think its around the 10 posts mark. We had a few problems with some dodgy deals by peeps joining to sell so this was introduced. Get involved in the banter and you will make up the posts in no time.

doing a college course. sort of started of with nothing last year. now i have a couple of bikes. going to get my own unit towards the end off the year. try and start selling some bikes out off it etc etc instead of having them all around my house like now. and look towards opening a shop with my dad if money pay's off


Any sp knowledge or help would be welcomed

Nice SP you have there Scoops. Good choice for one so young :thumbup: Although this is predominantly a Firestorm forum, there are a few of us on here lucky enough to have an SP as well as a Storm so someone should be able to help with any questions you may have.
Welcome to the madhouse. Come on in and make yourself at home. :thumbup:
