Sirius' motorbike

Harry Potter Forum

We are supposed to learn what happened to Sirius' motorbike in the next book? What do you believe happened to it after Hagrid delivered Harry to the Dursleys?

I've been wondering about this!
I'd completely forgotten about Sirius's motorbike until I read a discussion with J.K where someone asked her what had happened to it, and she said something about we WILL find out, but some people might be able to figure it out...... mysterious as ever!

So does this mean that Hagrid was left with the bike after he dropped Harry off, or did he return it to Sirius-presumably before the incident with peter pettigrew?
in OotP, Kingsley Shacklebolt mentions that there has 'been a sighting' of Sirius's bike so J.K probably put that reference in to remind us of it in which case we probably will see it again either in bk 6 or 7.

Also, as Harry was Sirius's godson and Sirius was the last remainding Black, does that mean that Harry will inhereit all of Sirius's posessions - like no 12 Grimmauld place and perhaps a certain bike........?lol!

Blaise, I also wonder if Harry will inherit the bike. Imagine the Dursleys faces if Harry gets that.

True, could the bike be waiting inside, somewhere, at 12 Grimmauld Place?
Or, could it be wandering through the Forbidden Forrest, like the Weasley's car?
It will be interesting to find what Hagrid did with it afterwards.
It could have been put up, someplace safe, and when Dumbledore knew that Sirius was not a killer, it was given back to him.
There are so many different possibilities, that it's hard for me to guess.

Isn't a flying motorbike against the Misuse of Magic laws? I mean the car was and Hagrid flies it right onto a muggle street!

Perhaps Hagrid and the motorbike were given special allowances considering the situation.

I think it depends if it was tooled up with an Invisibility booster. Also, I doubt the Ministry would be mad at that point since Harry's safety was involved. Also, Dumbledore has been known to make unauthorized port keys, so perhaps he did not tell the Ministry about the motorbike.

Everyone was partying that day. Even the owls got out of control. A little thing like a flying motorbike wouldn't have bothered the MoM.

Excellent point Heather.

Maybe witches dug the bike?

I would too.

I would too... if there's a hot chick in leathers on it!!

Now how did I know she would say that?

Because you KNOW me. Hey... would it be too much to request that the chick in leather be, ohhhhhhhhhh... let's say just a hair under 6' tall, has ice blue eyes, black hair, and a nice New Zealand accent?

Lordy there she goes again.

Hey... and if she wants to carry a sword on her back and a chakram at her hip, I won't complain. She can even name the cycle Argo.

See... Sherry, Mike agrees with me. Except, he can have a blonde in leathers.
He's NOT getting MY chick in leathers. Lucy is ALLLLLLLLLL MINE!! I don't share.

Oh that does not surprise me one bit that Mike agrees with you.

Okay... but I'm telling you, you can have ANY other woman, than my one dream woman. You can have 'em all. I just want one... in leather and on a motorcycle.

Kris, I think Mike would like a woman who is closer to his own age.

Like I said... works for me. So, he can have a young hottie, in leather, on the bike. I get my woman, in leather, on the bike. We're all happy.

Oh man, look out ladies, Mike is on the prowl.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

I hope that is a pirate sound, because I did not mean it in a bad way at all. You know I like you Mike. You are smart, cute, witty, quite a catch.

Careful Mike, this older lady has a thing for Pirates, Kris will have soooo much to say about that comment..

I daresay she will.
