What could I have done better?

The world is your oyster Tim and you become a Ham.

 

nope the insurance company will chase him down

since you have provided the at fault party you will not lose NCB or
increased premiums

 

Doubt that my insurance company will want to be much help, since I only
have third party property on this bike (seemed hard to justify $500/y
insurance on a bike with a book value of not much over $2000) - so do
hope that the driver is insured.

 

If he isn't insured then that is good for you in some ways

as when I have been looking at 3rd party insurance they provide
you cover against uninsured people for $3K last I looked and may
have possibly changed to $5K IIRC

read your policy and find out

there is always the sheriff or the 'boyz' >

 

You don't lose your rating for a not-at-fault claim, or pay excess, or pay
increased premiums the following year.

The term "Emergency stop" is usually used in relation to the art of stopping
in the shortest distance possible, usually in circumstances which one regards
as an 'emergency'. You seem to be confusing it with "stopping at a convenient
location". I'm sure the idiom police will have a lot to say too.

Most insurance policies these days have a not at fault bonus protection
where you claim against the other party on your insurance if you can
identify them.
QBE has protected no claim bonus even for at fault accidents (so long as
it is only one for the year)
But then I am an over 35 rider with a 5-6 year claim free period.

 

$328 full comprehensive

 

That's not insurance, that's false economy.

I'd rather an Odium Week, so we can say how much we dislike each other, each
other's bikes, climates, places of residence etc. Or would that be too much
like harsh week, you long-haired, bmw-riding tryhard?

 

No, but it would be hard to tell when it started and ended. At least my
BMWs don't reject me.

Heh heh; I had something similar in 1982 when I fucked myself over.
A surgeon came in and said something like "I see you ride a killer
motorbike" and as I launched into my practised "it was my own fault and I
would've been just as hurt in a car...." he stuck up his hand and then told
me all about the pristine Norton Commando he had out in the carpark!
