I'm grateful to live 60 miles away on some mostly nice backroads from Hermy's BMW.
I brought my (well-worn) F650GS in for some work and was told it would take (at least) all day. The service tech asked, "Would I like a loaner?"
I usually wait for any work to be done but this time a loaner seemed like a nice idea.
I was given a 2015 BMW F800R. It's not a bike I ever thought I'd like. BUT I LOVE IT! It's very light, very stable, handles wonderfully, and, unlike most bikes, I can actually swing my leg over the (surprisingly comfortable) seat. With all of the crap I've added to my bikes, it was a lot of fun riding a nice, clean, naked bike.
But back to Hermy's -- it's amazing any dealers still offer loaners, and I'm extremely grateful for it.
As for my bike -- they are not happy with the results of one repair, so are still working on it. They've replaced stuff that didn't have an impact and said, "You won't be charged for that."
Hermy's is a stand up place -- and it makes sense that customers travel long distances to buy from them. Again, I'm happy to be fairly close by. I'll also plan on asking the sales staff to let me know if they see an F800R come in. I'm stunned at how much I enjoyed riding that bike. I'm looking forward to the ride back to pick up my bike.
And yes, anything new they added, I'll insist on paying for -- it's all less stuff for me to worry about going down the road.
