I loaned a motorcycle under the name of my husband's uncle. I gave him money for his fare and as my "thank you". Before the transaction has done everything was clear. I and my husband are responsible for the monthly contribution. Anyway, the reason why we agreed to put it under his name because that store was also the store where he loaned his motorcycle and now paid. That would mean if it's under his name the next transaction will be faster. Indeed, it is. Six months after, there is a commotion from his uncle. We heard that he and my mother-in-law, husband's mom, got a conflict regarding a piece of land. Then that time his trying to claim the motorcycle from our hands. I let him signed an absolute transfer paper to us, and he rejected. Now we are dealing with this problem. It made me so sick , thinking my husband's uncle is a thief. Why he's claiming the motorcycle where in fact he didn't pay any cent?
What do you think I should do?

A very complicated problem. But if you do not have evidence or witnesses who stated that the bike is yours. I know, would be very difficult, if the motorcycle on behalf of your husband's uncle. To report to the police, has no sign of ownership. Well be better discussed with the family.

You are right , it's very difficult. We had discuss it with the family, sad thing is his sibling can't do anything. So I was thinking what kind of family am i dealing with. They can't see the right thing to do. We are just waiting in vain. All the people around us know about the situation yet nothing .. 
I just don't want to drag my father into this because I don't want to hurt anybody. If I'll let my father do the decision it will be so harsh. My father doesn't want anybody to stepped into our ego. He's overprotective.

I am truly sorry this sort of thing is happening to you and your husband as sometimes the people we love turn out to be the people who hurt us the most.
I suppose it is because we such good nature and trust those in our family, there is truth the phrase we cannot mix business with family.
Unfortunately the law will not be on your side, the only thing you can do is take him to small claims court and prove you paid every cents. If you are successful in doing so you will get your money back but unfortunately not the motorcycle.
Sorry again, if the uncle does not come to his senses I am afraid you are going to have to space away.

What a freak! Have you ever tried to remind him that you were only using name when you bought the motorcycle and that it cant he his cause he didnt even pay any amount of money for it? You should remind him that and let him know his limitations. You are a strong in dependent woman, you can do it!
