Well if the guy never talks to you again, sounds like you deserve it. A bike making noises is no reason to act like a jerk, especially when you didn't even know the cause of the noise when you did it.

Everything you mentioned that was "fixed" are not really just two stroke issues. Bolts and screws can get loose on any bike. It is just common stuff. You need to get used to checking your bike over for loose bolts, broken parts, loose chain, oil and coolant leaks, etc. Also keep your airfilter cleaned and oiled. Good luck and enjoy your bike.
