I think the Gods spared you so that you could continue to ride, not as a sign to quit. You have zero fault here, let's be clear about that, I mean, how many people bring torque wrenches when they pick up a bike from the dealer? But your dealer, who appears to be honest thank goodness, learned that someone wasn't doing their job right and will be making sure that never happens again. Keep riding if you still love it and don't let this discourage you.
I don't think many think this way, but being a motorcycle mechanic is very much like being an aviation mechanic. It's much more important to do it right working on a bike. This is part of the reason I try very hard to do all my own wrenching; I know that I will take my time and do it right.
