Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Claimed Motorcycle was Over the Line

I was involved in an altercation between a motorcycle and a truck. The driver of the truck told me that I crossed over the line and hit the rear of his truck with a helmet that was strapped onto the side of my motorcycle. I believe that I did not hit the truck, but that the helmet did strike the tire of the truck, I know it did because the helmet was damaged. Upon inspection of the truck by both parties, the driver of the truck pointed to a dent near the rear behind the tire and told me that he would have that fixed by a proffessional, and then send me the bill. The more I considere this, while looking closely at the dent and the rear "mudflap" I believed that this dent was already there, as there was no "fresh" markings near this site.(paint from bike/helmet, etc) I am starting to think that this person is trying to have me pay for a dent that was there before our alterscation, it was agreed to not report the accident, but the more I think about it, the more I believe that where the dent is and where the helmet was doesn`t line up, I am wondering should I contest this altercation? Thank you
