even a minor shunt from behind can cause whiplash

You missed out on a nice amount of beer money.

On a more serious note: Legally speaking I think you have to report things like this when damage results and leaving because your bike wasn't damaged could come back to bite you if he magically comes up with a witness saying it was somehow your fault. Granted this is unlikely but I don't trust any drivers further than I could throw them. 99% of people are just out to get what they can and f*** everyone else!!

+1. I would have exchanged details too.
A: because I would be worried my bike is bent in a way I cannot see,
and
B: because I would be concerned about the legal side, it would give me peace of mind to do it by the book.

I am clinically paranoid though.

I think the very least you should do is report it to the police. Get it logged and make a statement. Then tell your insurance company and get it logged with them. I don't know if this will do any good, but it can't hurt
