I would have said the living aura of the biker bounced or bumped the mage
out of the way, but not as drastically as you may have handled it. A few
meters in a random scatter direction would've sufficed/

In my game no, see below.

Just not have bounced the mage a few dozen kilometers or allowed the

I say no. A mage can't sustain a spell while projecting. In my opinion this
is because he's not tied to his physical body and thus not creating a
bridge to pull these energies into the physical plane. I rule the same for
summoning. He's not physical and thus able to accurately open a gate (via
dancing, gesturing, crying out, or whatever it takes) to pull other
forces/beings into this plane as well. Now this is just my GM's opinion
though.
