Only if you took the necessary steps to make that possible in the case of a default. If you didn't you may need to sue the primary borrower in court. In any case, you are fully responsible for paying the loan.

You live in Tennessee you Co-Signed for him a Motorcycle Do you have to wait till he is late to repo it Or is it mine as much as his and you can just get a repo company to go get it for you?

It is yours as much as his because you co-signed the paper, so go get a repo company to repossess it to you. When you co-signed the loan, you became a party to the loan. If you didn't get your name on the title as a joint owner, you are legally not entitled (literally) to the bike. You accept all the risk and get no benefit from co-signing his loan. If he defaults, it will show up on your credit history if you don't continue the payments.

It will not hurt your credit by returning a car as long as you have not signed any promissory documents.

The signer might want the car if he/she knows that not only the repo will show up on their credit but also any defiency balance and legal actions.
