Michael Schumacher to ride a Honda in the World Superbike Championship

Retired F1 champ Michael Schumacher will ride a Honda in the World Superbike Championship next year. Schumacher has dabbled in bike racing before, as reported here on Straightline (Michael Schumacher to race Honda CBR1000RR).

"Michael is convinced that the German championship is right for him at the moment," Honda Racing's Carlo Fiorani was quoted as saying by Gazzetta dello Sport. "For the moment he has not asked us to race in the 2009 world championship.

"But if he wants to, there is a way for him (to do it). All he has to do is ask us."

Schumacher has stated that he's not looking for a new career here, but rather this a "hobby" for him. Not a bad way to keep busy in retirement, I'd say...
