I made a bike rack for my 914 years ago and I don't use it anymore since my new bike (cannondale lefty) won't work with it. I just put it up on evil-bay and should've offered it to you guys first. It's pretty cool and I would like to see someone use it.

I'm in....looking for anything that'll make me want to ride more.

I won about 3 grand in Vegas a couple years ago and bought a new roadie trying to bribe myself into riding more and it worked for a couple weeks. I really enjoy riding, maybe riding and a teener will be what it takes...just hope it doesn't rain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Nice to know I'm with some fellow bikers. I used to race heavily, Cat 2 and Semi-pro cross country, Now I just do the "fun" events. 24 hours of moab, ect ect. Most of my riding is to and from work 4 days a week. And some SingleSpeed Mtn bike rides on the weekends. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

I raced USCF for 5 years including a year in France when I was in college (ah those were the days!).

Bowlsby is a roadie too.

As far as 914 bike racks go I figure that some day I'll get a beater targa top and then just bolt a bike carrier to it. That seems like the easiest way to go.

That bike rack on ebay is pretty cool. If I didn't already have a Yakama on my spare roof, I'd consider bidding. I still think it looks odd to have a large bike on a small car, but it gets me to the woods for some rock hopping.

Hmmm....looks like everyone "used to" race (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Including me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Here is a simple rack I made that utilizes the threaded holes under the targa bar that were originally for ski-racks. I fabricated a plate that holds a Yakima bike tight. The rear tire is held in place with a nylon strap that wraps around the brace that holds the taillight inside the trunk.

I've got a template around here somewhere if anyone is interested.

Evidently the template is not here, so it must be at the shop. I can get it this weekend and then scan it for a file.

I'll also take some close-up pics and post when I have everything together.
