If the driver had had a proper licence (allowing him to seek compencation) he could have asked for money from you. But, not on the spot. He would have to ask, in writing, to have your insurers details to be able to clame (this would be from any home insurence or bike specific insurence. He cant just ask you for money (that is blackmail). If you are not insured (or just want to) you can offer to pay the money out of your own pocket. After that procedure (if you dont offer to pay anything) he can try and take you to the small clames court.
This chap dose sownd like a bit of a nutter. But, you have his details as well. If he threatens you in any way then you can call the police (for what its worth).
