I think it's actually better than that. If the bikes move within 15 cm
of your titan in the movement or assault phase of their turn, they *must*
fight a fire fight with the titan during the CC phase of *their* turn.

So unless those bikes won the FF with the titan on the eldar players
turn (not likely), they shouldn't even have been there (sounds like
you forgot the FF).

Note that fighting a FF is not optional. See page 26:

"If a detachment (the bikes in this case, since it's the eldar turn) has
any units within 15cm of an enemy detachment a firefight *must* be
resolved between the two detachments." (emphasis mine).

Those bikes shouldn't have been there.
