but just freakishly ran away somehow

I ride a motorcycle. It's not "freakish." Go to youtube and look for "riderless motorcycle." If the bike is in motion and the rider jumps off/falls off, the laws of physics will keep the bike going.

No mystery at all.

An object in motion will remain in motion. Unless it falls over.

About two miles back, Robert Blake is on his ass in the middle of the road. (Electra Glide in Blue.)

I remember this cartoon as a kid. Not impressed by the movie. Grew up, I guess.

I remember back in the late 50s, when my Schwinn Black Phantom went down our street for almost 2 blocks before it fell over on to a lawn. Still can’t figure that one out.

Like doorgunner mentioned, gyroscopic forces help it stay up. A running motorcycle wants to stay upright. Try taking the bike out, and start trying to tip over. Once you hit a certain speed, you'll turn but the bike pushes you back upright. if you just relax and let go, the bike goes mostly straight.
