Dealers and their service depts and labour rates existed from the earliest days of motorcycling..


If you look back through old motorcycling magazines, there was similar disquiet and anxiety when motorcycles changed over from belt drive to chain drive, and from sidevalve to overhead valve, and from acetylene lighting to electric lighting, and from no front brake to front brake, and from handchange gearboxes to footchange gearboxes, and from crash boxes to constant mesh boxes, and lever throttle to twistgrip throttle, and from single cylinder to twin cylinder and from girder forks to tubular forks.  And from featherbed frames to Commando frames.


Times change, riders adapt, progress progresses.... ?
