Do you know where your parts come from? It’s a serious question. One posed recently in a most unusual public confession by Nikola Maletic from Perun Moto, a manufacturer of high-end bits for your ADV motorcycle. Tired of having his parts copied by another manufacturer—even to the degree that they reused his catalogue photos and descriptions—he didn’t get mad, go online, and lose his mind. How old-fashioned of him. Instead, he solicited the views of the public on what has become an issue of increasing concern: where does the stuff we buy come from? Is it made in a manner that dovetails with my beliefs? Are employees paid living wages? And, specific to the Perun Moto case, do we, as purchasers, have an obligation to honor intellectual property right for those who’ve invested the time and money to make the bits we buy.
