RE: just trued to make service appt. not happy
Am I missing something here? They know they can't do it for 2 weeks, but you're still taking your bike there on Monday? I'm not sure, but if you're telling us it's because you are up to the 1000 miles and can't ride it past that, that's not the case, they will allow you to be over the 1000.

NO DON'T RIDE YOUR BIKE! Without the 1K service, it'sprogrammed to explode if youride it over 1,001 miles! 
There's got to be a dealer within 100 miles that would take service your bike if your local dealer wont.
InMarch, I called a week in advance to book the appointment on a saturday morning. Waited for three hours, had a free bowl of chili (the dealer and localfire department had a cook-off).The next day I tore the stock exhaust off and installed my Big Shots!
Good luck!

Why get mad at the dealer? He's right, many people have service done in the spring. Like others have said, do it yourself or wait. That's just the way it is.

I have a suggestion, if you don't want to do your own service work, wait for a day it's raining and show up without an appointment. Business is usually pretty slow when it's raining.

Hate to break the news to him but 250 bikes a year isn't jack s***.
...and they sell 250 bikes a year so you do the math.
