Michael Schumacher loved two wheels
Did you know that Michael Schumacher was an avid motorcycle fan?
Despite being a dominant force in Formula One from 1991 to 2006, Schumacher had a great passion for speed on two wheels.
During his first retirement, Michael Schumacher even took part in several superbike races.
As a matter of fact, the German legend even scored a podium in Hungary whilst competing in the IDM Superbike Championship in 2008.
Back in 2012, Schumacher also took part in a legendary track day organised by Monster Energy.
Schumacher would share the asphalt with Grand Prix legend Randy Mamola, Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness, then-Moto2 rider Pol Espargaro and former Prodigy frontman Keith Flint.
