Unless they're celebrating a specific anniversary, events sponsored by manufacturers are few and far between, but here's one that proves any naysayers to be inaccurate in their wafflings

In search of Coffee in the Picos Mountains

Peter, Wellsy, Martin and Eileen tour together. They call their group 'Guzzis Rule' as Wellsy is a Guzzi fanatic and owns several, some of which actually run, but never for very long. Regardless, they decided to head for Spain
