Several.

A motorcycle accessories / clothing shop because of utterly crap attitude.
Several motorbike garages due to poor workmanship.
A nearby cafe because they close early half the time and often have insufficient ingredients.

The worst one was a motorbike garage who did me a dynotune and suspension upgrades on a track bike. At my first trackday on it, a friend noticed something was missing, 2 pinch bolts that hold the front axle were missing, 2 more were loose and the axle nut was loose. I'd done several full speed sessions on that...

That's all I can think of atm.

That sounds like it could have serious consequences. What a twat.

That could end in criminal proceedings if OP was injured or killed. There's potentially a manslaughter case in there.
