Have you read the forum guidelines??
The 5 votes aren't so you can be a trials rider or go out riding, it's so the rest of us on the forum know your not a cock who's gonna spam all over the forum, give members loads of abuse or scam people out of money/parts in the for sale section then completely dissapear only to return under a different username.
You can still share your passion for riding in the new members chat section and feel free to check out when group rides are happening and tag along, and when you've made some good posts which show your interest in the sport, give good advice or ask for good advice people will soon enough vote you into the full section.
The forum isn't being discriminatory, just trying to keep the board free of adverts and general wankers (not aimed at yourself)!
Hope this is what your were looking for?!
