I saw a bunch of clowns from the BIR in a bar once. They reminded me of the Brit bike version of Harley pirates. 
Why would you want to be part of the BIR or any other club that doesn't welcome you? If you're riding a Triumph cruiser, be happy in your own skin that you're riding a machine YOU like.
I've never been a member of BIR, but I know some from Bonnie forums, I've never seen them disparage Am/Speedies. They try to help when an Am/Speedie owner ask, but they acknowledged they don't know specifics of our bikes. Although a few like me own both. They always send people here, BonnevilleAmerica.com, they know this is where the Am/Speedie experts are. 
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
