t�s quite common to see manufacturers getting into bed with custom builders these days. We�ve seen BMW hooking up with Roland Sands for the Concept 90, and Yamaha has joined forces with the Wrenchmonkees and Deus Ex Machina for a series of �Yard Built Specials�. Until recently, this sort of thing was hush-hush. But an interesting story has just come to light regarding Filippo Barbacane of Officine Rossopuro, Italy�s leading Moto Guzzi customizer. And the postscript is this rather intriguing Bellagio-based custom.
