I know that others have had the same experience. Would suggest that having someone on the inside "sponsor" you might be a bit quicker.

So how does the BIR measure up in comparison with the Triumphrat?? I reckon everything I need is right here, this feels like home.

Hi Guys

There are some handy hints and tips on their website, especially in the video's section.

But looking at the members list it looks like you have to be a fabricator, small manufacture or minor celebrity to get in.

I'm grateful for their site and to some of the members whom I have bought parts from, but as a club it all seems a bit elitist and self promotional to me.

I'm British, I live in the London area, it would be nice to have a club with some of our guys and I too like the nostalgia of it all.

So maybe it's up to us. But this forum is as good as any motorcycle club, apart from the ride outs and the beers.
