Just where *IS* Sirius' motorbike then?

we ignore the glitch.

Carol responds:
"We had a thread about this discrepancy awhile back. It turns out that
the American edition of SS has Hagrid saying, "I'll be takin' Sirius
his bike back" (16) but the British edition has a different reading.
Can anyone provide that other reading and might it be a correction
made to later printings while JKR was writing PoA? But then he also
says, "Young Sirius Black lent it me" (14), which I think is the same
in both editions."

DuffyPoo:

In my Canadian paperback edition (same as British) published in 2000, Hagrid says:

"I'd best get this bike away." instead of "I'll be takin' Sirius his bike back." in the Canadian Hardback edition published in also in 2000 (part of a box set, probably a new printing from the original in 1997).
