Michael Schumacher returned to the saddle of a powerful racing motorcycle this week before heading to Singapore.
According to German media reports, he travelled in his private plane to the Sachsenring on Tuesday. He then tested 180bhp KTM and Honda racing bikes with friends he met during his time in the IDM German superbike championship.
It was when testing the same sort of IDM bikes in early 2009 that Schumacher fell and hurt his neck; an injury that prevented him from racing in injured Felipe Massa's Ferrari cockpit last August.
Meanwhile, Schumacher's Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg was already in Singapore on Tuesday, where he had to hitchhike back to his hotel in the cab of a truck after a taxi lost its way due to road closures around the Marina Bay circuit.
