He can get a judgment against you now and then try to collect later when you have some assets.

If your dog was off leash then he might have a case against you since most places have leash laws. You should contact your homeowner's insurance and ask for their assistance.

As I am licensed in Florida and Vermont, I cannot comment specifically on Arizona state law. However, generally, if you were negligent in maintaining control over your dog so that it caused the motorcycle accident, you can be sued for the property damage to the motorcycle as well as for the driver's injuries, lost earnings and similar damages. Many states require that you keep your dog on a leash or under your immediate control so as not to injure other parties. Failure to keep your dog under control can render you liable.
