Took it in for the 600 mile service today, 10am, got a call at 1230 that she was done, and oh, we're sorry to say this, but your bike got dropped. I thought they were joking at first, but they were not. There is minimal damage. So I had to wait all afternoon with this pit in my stomach until my wife got home from work and took me down. Damage was a little more than minimal, but not real bad.
The mechanic had come back from test riding it after the service, had to negotiate around a tow truck in the lot, and hit a hole and fell over on the right side. Scratched up the saddlebag, pipe, axle bolt cover, various scratches all down the side of the fairing. They had already ordered the parts to fix it by the time I got there. I never heard so many apologies. We've bought 5 bikes from this place and they do all our service, and this is the 1st time we've ever had an incident. What can I do, it was an accident and they are making it right. At least nothing is cracked and flapping in the wind and I can still ride it. I'm going to ask them for the old parts just in case I have a need for them in the future. Hopefully not but you never know. When the service dept told the general manager what had happened, and he went back there, he said "please tell me it's not the bike with the temp tag", but it was!
