I can provide photos later of my bike, a full carbon road bike with carbon wheels on the 944.
For info just on the rack system, go to seasucker.com

It was all in fun. I had a vintage bike set up with a TT riding position and gearing for a while. It was a blast till it got hilly. The lowest gear was 42x21

Or something simpler?

I know there's lots of off the shelf options out there but am thinking of trying something different. Any thoughts?



So I know this thread is pretty old, but the ski rack in the first post, does anyone know any information on it? I really like how it mounts and would like to get one for my 944

My one is an early type. I would call it a 924 one. There is a later one with better clamps/fasteners for the skis.

Any idea where to get a roof rack? Is there Thule kit for the 944?

The factory ski rack for the 924 works well with the 944 too. I adapted a front fork mount from yakima to my rack and it works great for bike transport

Hi guys,

I'm taking a vacation with my daughter to Martha's Vineyard next week, and I am seriously considering taking the 944 instead of my trusty Cayenne. Stupid or adventurous, I don't know which I am. I do need to figure out a way to bring our bikes up to the island, though, and I came across this old thread. It seems like the Yacama with the Q feet is the only viable option among currently available bike racks. What do you all think? Is it a good idea to strap two bikes to one of these things?

And while I have your attention, Is it a good idea to trust one of these cars for a 250 mile ride each way, and life on the island for a week? My car has been well serviced and it drives very well, plus it has a brand new battery, a brand new crank position sensor, and new spark plug wires.

250 in a day is not a big deal, thats not even a full tank of gas at highway speed.
