Rita: Whatever happend to Sirius' flying motorbike?
JK Rowling replies -> Ah, good question. You'll find out, but the 
real sleuths among you might be able to guess.

Book quotes:
SS/PS1:
"Hagrid," said Dumbledore, sounding relieved. "At last. And where did 
you get that motorcycle?"
"Borrowed it, Professor Dumbledore, sir," said the giant, climbing 
carefully off the motorcycle as he spoke. "Young Sirius Black lent it 
to me. I've got him, sir."

SS/PS1:
"Yeah," said Hagrid in a very muffled voice, "I'll be takin' Sirius 
his bike back. G'night, Professor McGonagall -- Professor Dumbledore, 
sir."

PA10: (Hagrid's soliloquy.. edited)
"...an' Sirius Black turns up, on that flyin' motorbike he used ter 
ride. Never occurred ter me what he was doin' there. <snip> Told me 
ter take his motorbike ter get Harry there. 'I won't need it 
anymore,' he says. I shoulda known there was somethin' fishy goin' on 
then. He loved that motorbike, what was he givin' it ter me for? Why 
wouldn' he need it anymore?..."

OP7:
"Here," said Kingsley brusquely to Mr Weasley, shoving a sheaf of 
parchment into his hand. "I need as much information as possible on 
flying Muggle vehicles sighted in the last twelve months. We've 
received information that Black might still be using his old 
motorcycle."
