One of the funnest stories to watch this past season was Benny Carlson making his remarkable comeback to racing in the Vance & Hines XR1200 Series. Previously Carlson was one of the leading riders in AMA Supermoto during that championship’s run in the mid-2000s. He’s been away from racing for several years and worked his way up the ranks on the XR1200s to become one of the best up-and-coming riders in the series. Here’s a little photo comparison of Carlson’s Supermoto vs. road racing cornering technique.
