If your brother wants it bad enough he can trade the bike for the truck, buy the truck, or sell the bike and buy a car. I think it's so wonderful that you put your foot down and are not allowing him to get over on you like he's learned to do on others. I also think that it's rude of him to be so whiny over inheritance when your father hasn't even passed away yet. Either way it will be yours and you have control of the situation unless you choose to put the control in anyone elses hands. *hugs* Don't let your mother or brother guilt trip you; it wouldn't even be an issue if they simply gave you what you are asking for. They're making the issue a 'moral' one when it really isn't.
