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.

Jen: That was my first thought, too--the bike's in the Forbidden 
Forest. JKR said 'real sleuths' among us would be able to guess. 
Well, what clues do we have? Just that Hagrid was the last one in 
possession of the bike. Or the last person we see with it. It makes 
sense he took the motorbike back to Hogwarts.


Eloise:
Either that, or

enchant a

the Weasleys',

Jen: Or somehow the bike got sent to Arthur's department 
for 'disposal' so he just took it home to tinker with it. I like 
this theory better than the Forbidden Forest because it fits in so 
well with Arthur's character. Seems strange none of the kids would 
have found it by now,though, 15+ years later.
