Could the service not have waited until your return if you were only doing 800 miles?

it was a 6k service and the bike was on 6900 miles already. They said there could be issues, if it were 1000 - 1500 miles over the service interval and if later on I had a warranty claim for an engine component etc etc.
This is the bike technical section.. There's a travel/ride report section for scenic views, contemplation and reflection on the joys of riding a motorcycle...![]()
