Okay. the title,registration,insurance,.....everything is in my name. her name is not on one thing what so ever. BUT.... she paid for it with a personal check and she claims since she can just show that she baught the bike with her check and then she can legally take the bike back from me.but , like i said ,everything is in my name. theres no leins on title either. the only thing in her name is the check she wrote out for the bike.

Act like a MAN buy your own bike, is your self respect and dignity worth this?

Even though the law is on your side -- you own the bike free and clear, why did she advance the money via a check and on your behalf in the first place? What did you do to deserve such a generous offering? Is there an issue of love or affection between you two? That's where the real issue lies. And now the affair has cooled and you refuse to return the bike to her by claiming legal rights? Why are you hiding behind legalities? End the conflict by either paying her in full for the bike or return the bike to her promptly. There's the issue of fair play and dealing in good faith. Apparently, you are seeking a legal way out of being fair with your girlfriend. How can you sleep well at night knowing that you somehow cheated another person out of her hard earned savings. Remember the old saying, "integrity counts." So, where's your "integrity?"
Good luck!

Like I said before. If it was not a straight out gift, if you two had some kind of agreement, then it isn't your bike until you fulfill that agreement.
The question is. If you say it was a straight out gift. And she sez it was a loan or some other kind of contract, and there is nothing in writing and no witnesses, who is the judge going to side with?
Personally as a man. Even it it was a very extravagant straight out gift. If the two of you had a falling out the self respecting thing to do would be to pay her back for the bike.

The title is in your name so it's your bike. If she takes it it is theft of a motor vehicle.

Legally speaking She cannot take the bike-
One- your name is on the title-
Two - the insurance is in you name-
And three- if she does take it- you can report it stolen.
If she claims that she can take it back-.......!
Need I say more?

It is in your name so she cannot do anything about that. The court does not know weather you paid her with cash and she paid with a check. It was a gift and that is that.
I would spend a few dollars and get a legal consultation. It will cost you a hundred or there is plenty of legal advice on the web.

If your name is on the title, you are the legal owner of the bike. If she takes it, it's theft.

No, she cannot take it. If the title and registration are in your name with no liens, then it's yours. I'm willing to bet you both are fairly young, right? I did a similar thing for a boyfriend when I was young, and I sure wish I hadn't. I just had to learn that lesson the hard way. Like another answerer said, you should've just bought that motorcycle yourself. Head games are bad enough, but it sounds like you two are playing head games with a motorcycle in the custody battle. :(

No. It's your bike. If you get rid of her let me know, I could use a new bike.

The dollar amount on the check is what she paid to see how much you are worth. You are a boy of negative integrity. Sad.
