Neil Hodgson will be back racing next year.
The Onchan resident has signed a two year deal with American Honda to contest the A.M.A. Superbike Championship in the United States.
It's a return to the series after riding for Ducati in 2005 and 2006.
From March, Hodgson will reside in Laguna Beach, California, before returning to the Isle of Man at the end of the season.
