I recently asked the same question. Prior to posting my quire, I had already "introduced" myself to "BIR" as per an invitation resulting from an email I sent to one of it's "officers." This is what I've learned/concluded:
It's a recently formed world-wide Internet-organized "non-club" Club...... It's "members" are Bonneville & British Bike enthusiasts who feign an appreciation for the eccentric and eclectic. There is an underlying appreciation for Rockabilly music and for the age of innocence that gave us "Hooliganism."
One simply knocks at their door via email, requesting the opportunity to post & participate. When it has been established where you live & ride, you invite yourself to participate in a run, meet some of it's "members", and ultimately seek a sponsor among them.
After you have spent some time posting, riding, and throwing back a Pint or two with 'em, your sponsor puts to vote (via the site) whether your company is worthy of being granted the privilege of a membership number.
It's a site of camaraderie, small talk, inside jokes, and ultimately the desire to do nothing more than ride. At age 51, I think I may be among the median age group. I don't have the right to represent them, as I am not (yet) one of them; but such are my observations thus far...........
