A great article with a great quote in this months Classic Bike:
“We began to pick up dealers... there was some reluctance at first, but once they saw that we backed up warranty and could supply spares, it got better”
That’s from Mike Jackson, head of Norton US operations ... in 1970 ...!
It would seem to be a valuable lesson from history. C’mon Norton, the biggest bike market in the Western world is shrivelling and dying for you because of basic lack of support in the field...
Wonder if Mike’s still alive and could be persuaded out of retirement ?!
