While very Admirable that you are an honest man and keep your word, there are ways that you can " Limit the Loaner ".

You can have him sign a contract to the Loaner Rules.

Babygirl; I appreciate the time and "thought" you put into your suggestion. But the reality is that I have already seen how Sluggo "honors" his commitment on "contracts" I executed a contract with him to "buy" the bike last summer and he never executed ANY of the terms. If I had him sign a contract like you suggest- he wouldn't "honor" the terms though I would. As things stand I own the bike and can take it back at any time; for any reason, or no reason at all. I intend to give him a couple months to "show his colors" as it were. I may extend if he shows "good faith" but I don't expect either to have him show "good faith" or to have to do anything but "take" the bike back.
As long as there are no "limits" on my conduct by a "contract' I can do whatever I please.

I'm sorry Jim, I'm glad I'm not in your shoes. And as you can see with your friends here, we all want to help in some way.

And it can be frustrating for us to not be able to help you. But much less frustrating than it is for you. I'm Sure .

Thanks Babygirl; the "best medicine" for me is "hearing" my own thoughts on this repeated back to me. It is "comforting" hearing that I am not the only one to "see" problems with this scheme. I feel like I need to try it...but I hate it And I have no faith at all in Sluggo. But...who knows...silly as it sounds I really would like to be "totally wrong" about him. But I don't think I am.

I understand Jim.
I have a Daughter, the baby, in her first relationship.

I have not posted about her and my worries, these past few months,
as I'm afraid I'll hear my own thoughts echoing, Be Validated and then I will just worry more.

Or possibly that I am a worry wart and I should learn to let go. Not sure if he is a " Sluggo", but I just can't seem to become "Fond of or Caring of " him.
