Tonks here:
I think that everyone here decided that it  probably made it way to 
Arthur Weasley's  home.

Yea, Tonks is right, we did discuss it here a while back ago.   However,
I didn't go with the whole Author Weasley thing.  The main reason  for
that was because, I don't remember Hagrid ever mentioning that he
really knows Molly or Author.  We know he was the last to have  it,
and the way I see/saw (depending on how you look at it) that Hagrid
probably threw it in the lake with the Giant Squid.  OK before you  say
I'm an idiot there is a reason (not that it's necessarily a "good", but a  
reason
all the same..) why I think this.  OK we know Hagrid is very  emotional, and
that he was the last to have the bike.  I would imagine that upon  hearing
that Sirius betrayed the Potter's to Voldemort, and well you know...
I could very well see Hagrid becoming enraged at the fact that he 
had just seen Sirius, and was "acting upset" and that he tried to 
"comfort" him.  Then going outside his hut picking up Sirius's  bike,
and chunking it into the lake. 
 
Chancie~who's wondering if the Giant Squid is too large to ride 
Sirius's motorbike...Hagrid did ride it after  all....
