Yeah, you're not getting cash for that. Make sure you report it at the collision reporting centre before time expires ... now if not sooner.

Obtaining any video recording from any business Costco or not is almost impossible. Been there, tried that. Unless someone gets seriously hurt and Police requests evidence, they won't budge.

Maybe the reason he can't afford insurance is his habit of running into things has caught up to him.
I thought the days of instant insurance were long gone. They run your records first and that takes time.
Too many liars got cheap rates, milked it for a month or two and then moved to another company. Rinse repeat.
Once you negotiate directly with the guilty party the insurance company may step away from any further involvement if hidden damage floats to the surface.
Be careful on how you word things. If you say "Give me $XXXX or I report" it could be construed as blackmail. Then you're treading water in the same mud hole as he is.
You could say "My plans are to report what I see as $XXXX worth of damage to my insurer by noon tomorrow. Any problem with that?" Would a legal entity see that as veiled blackmail?
One other issue is diminished value. Going through insurance may get your vehicle labeled as repaired. Insurance in Canada does not compensate the owner for the loss of trade in value as they do in the USA. Going the cash settlement route keeps your bike off the wounded list.
Simply state "This is 100% not my fault. One way or another this is getting paid for, and I'm not going to be out of pocket for it. Whether my insurance pays for it or you pay for it doesn't matter to me." You're stating the two options available to you and your ambivalence to which one. That can't be construed as intimidation.
I think that would be a stretch. Also 300 for a new tire??? Old one is fine.
Maybe. If the hit was hard enough to bend the rim you worry about pinch damage. It would probably be visible if you removed the tire but not necessarily. It may show up after some miles and heat cycles. You may not be near home when the blister appears.
Tire + installation + disposal fee + tax. $300 at a shop for a run of the mill rear tire isn't out of the question.
And........
If one doesn't like the invoice after hitting someone, one shouldn't hit people.

It’s a parking lot accident , on private property. He doesn’t legally owe you anything . Good on him if he pays you something , but that’s what your insurance is for .
As for him being uninsured, I’ll also gamble that’s a deflection. Glad you weren’t seriously hurt

The fact that he was on private property doesn't change the liability.
If the hit was hard enough to bend the rim, it was hard enough to potentially damage the belts etc within the tire.
I guess it could......
Barrie is normally <<5 minutes. Easily worth it. I went once to scarboro near Kennedy and it was over 45 minutes and you're trapped. Never again. I guess people divide and conquer with one getting gas and the other shopping? Seemed crazy.
Fwiw, costco premium is normally a bigger delta from other stations. Costco premium used to be 0.10 over regular and normal gas stations were >0.20. This has changed. Costco was 0.18 jump last time i was there.
oh.. don't get me wrong.. if the wait is just in and out... its easily worth the savings... and over the course of the year.. it does add up...
but I am just thinking over and over... for a normal sized tank at like 60L--- you save about $3-$6? And for a bike with like a 15L tank -- you save.. 75c or may be $1.50?
Again.. we are just animals of habits.. and when its cheaper.. I see the point to get it cheaper elsewhere.. but if you do the math.. i'd may be not drink a cup of coffee every day... rather than waiting inline for gas... i mean.. i can drink home made coffee.. but I sure ain't getting my time back... just sayin'
Shell comes very close to Costco if you have CAA and take the 3 cent discount.oh.. don't get me wrong.. if the wait is just in and out... its easily worth the savings... and over the course of the year.. it does add up...

The noble cause is to make the sellers keep their prices down by losing customers due to small price differences. It sounds stupid to spend 20 minutes in line on one corner of the intersection because the station on the other corner is a half cent more but it lets you punish the other station. When you go in to pay you pick up a chocolate bar for $2.00 instead of paying $0.88 at Dollarama.
