My girlfriend baught me a motorcycle.she paid by check. title and registration is in my name. can she take it?

Okay. the title,registration,insurance,.....everyt... 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?

No, she cannot take it. You have sole legal title, and that's all the law cares about.

Legally, no she cannot take the bike but she can sue you for the money she spent to get the bike.

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. :(

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.

as long as she didnt put loan for so and so on the check.then the bike is yours. you might want to write her something by e-mail or text or something thanking her for your GIFT !! and make sure you save her reply ..that way along the way she cant come back with it ..cause more than likely she will say oh youre welcome baby . or something like that ..by her telling you no problem ..or youre welcome .. any courts or anything like that will see it was a gift.. good luck

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?

Nope. According the law, you own it.

NOPE SHE CANT TAKE IT

The bike is legally yours
BUT: if you sell the bike she can sue you for the money
hold on to the bike

Yeah, it's in "your name" and she can't "take it" from you, but you're in for a scrap and will likely be made to pay up.

You deserve to be made to pay if you won't be a man and do so on your own. I hope she nails you on it.

She is Retarded! Dude , Just call me I have a Dozer we can get rid of her.....We will say she went on vacation. O.K., Everybody that's the story and we are going to stick to it...... I got your back bro!

This is too funny. Do us all a favor - if this actually IS true, grow some balls and pay her back. Be a man, not a dick.

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.

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

no its titled in your name , and regestered with you unless shes got something in writing with you

NO
but she can sue you for the money
judge judy will make you pay her back
any other judge will look at this as a gift

use the engagement ring Idea

If shes leaveing you keep the bike

if your leaveing her give it back

Read my answer to your other question.

I don't do relationship advice.
Sounds like you need a counselor, or counsel.
Best bet - buy your own.

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

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.

a motorcycle is an extension of yourself. if you dont pay her what you owe (i dont know your circumstances), then you dont deserve that bike.

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

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!

let her take it but she will pay tax and fees
