Carodave:

Sirius gave Hagrid his motorbike at Godric's HOllow after discovering 
the bodies of James and Lily (and baby Harry).  Sirius knew that Peter 
had betrayed the Potters and he was going to find Peter and probably 
kill him to avenge them.  He probably expected to be either dead or in 
Azkaban at the end of the night.  WHich turned out to be accurate, but 
not for the reason expected...
