Default Going Mountain Biking - with the 911

Never compromise.

I wanted to take the 911 to Ottawa for my week off. I also wanted to take my mountain bike because Ottawa has some great cross country and downhill biking close by. The solution: do both!

I ordered the seasucker Talon, thanks Cam for demonstrating yours! You sold me on it.

4 hour drive to Calabogie Motorsports Park and then the hour drive to Ottawa (often in the rain), passing anyone I wanted to, carving up hwy 511's twisties, and certainly not "taking it easy" (not my style) - the bike hadn't budged. This product is a winner!

Pics (sorry for crap quality):

LOL... I also would have been stranded somewhere... not sure where exactly as I decided to go a new way and was a bit lost at that point. Found some nice roads though!

Awesome concept! First time I see that. Am assuming this is it http://www.seasucker.com/shop/hornet/#tab-description?

Is your rear wheel just resting on your spoiler? I can't see if there is any other attachment then the one on the roof.

Before it gets too cold, we should do a rennlist mtb ride ?

The one I bought is called the "talon". I love it! The rear wheel is resting on the spoiler but there is also a single suction cup on the rear window that I tethered the frame to. Normally there is a strap for the rear wheel (see Cams pic above) but I can't suction to the spoiler where the rear wheel is

Absolutely, I'm in for a Rennlist mtn bike ride!
