I see no reason why not, since apart from Deathwing and Ravenwing the DA are organized like a Codex chapter. The bike company might, in fact, be seen as the unofficial "scout company" of the Ravenwing. BTW, Ravenwing is the 2nd company ;)

I do, but since marines are without command radius it really doesn't matter to what company the support cards are attached since they need not stay with it anyway. However, if people have no problem of the marines fielding more than a company's worth of bikes I'm all for it. After all, I'm the one with the least experiance in playing NetEpic anyway. It's just that I'd rather set the restrictions too strict in the beginning; IMO it is easier to lift restrictions than it is to add them later.
