You are not personally legally responsible for his bills. If the motorcycle was insured and has medical payments coverage (non fault based coverage) that can be used to pay his bills as he was a permissive driver. If there is no medical payments coverage you are not responsible. In fact he is responsible to pay for any damge to your motorcycle.
