| Locking the Market Place section to paid up members only seems to be a pretty attractive looking way to go. This would not detract anyone from view/posting the rest of the forum and would still encourage new and prospective members to take part. Anything posted "for sale" or "wanted" outside of this simply gets deleted.
The only thing I could see stopping this is the sale of bikes, which may be a lure to new or potential members. Maybe sectioning the Parts/Accessories/General from the Bikes would help with this? Maybe making the Bikes For Sale viewable to anyone, but only paid up members could post into this section. The other market place sections would stay readable/postable only to members.
