1996 Bike FS shock refurbish

 

Rebuilt the forks on a 1996 Porsche Bike FS for a friend this morning. This is the 1996 shock without the spring, just a lot of elastomers. The style of this fork is always more challenging to reassemble. I definitely prefer the shock with the spring/elastomers. Took it out for a test ride and it felt very good. Next I’ll change out the tires and tubes. 

Paint and polish completed

 

Finished the frame touch up paint and polish. This bike is looking great and at home with the 986 Boxster. Fork refurbish is next. 

Bike S neighborhood ride

 

Quick 14 miles around my neighborhood on the 1998 Porsche Bike S after starting the 1996 Bike FS rebuild project. Today was just cleaning why the elastomers are shipping. Once the forks are refurbished, I’ll polish the bike and send it off to my friend and new owner. 

Porsche 963!

First photos of the new Porsche 963 LMDh prototype livery has hit the internet today. And it's beautiful! I love the number, 963, as it reminds me of the 962 prototype from the 1980s when I first fell in love with Porsche racing. The car looks like a perfect combination of the 919, 962 and 911 GT1-98. I hope to see it race at Daytona next January!

Modified Bike S

A friend just sent me a pic of his fully upgraded Bike S. Shocks, brakes, gears, seat ... pretty much everything but the large frame has been upgraded. I bet this is a killer bike!

40 mile Porsche Bike X ride

 

Another gorgeous June day in Maryland. Fortunately, I was free for a 40-mile ride this morning. Rode my favorite BWI to Baltimore/Annapolis route on the 2004 Porsche Bike X.

Porsche Clubs International 70th anniversary photo

I participated in the 2022 Porsche Parade in the Poconos before the photo shoot for the Porsche club world-wide 70th anniversary photo shoot. I drove my 2006 Cayenne S to the event and was able to participate in both the Porsche Parade and 70th anniversary drone photo.

Another Bike FS rebuild begins

Back home in Maryland after the 2022 Porsche Parade in the Poconos with the 1996 Porsche Bike FS owned by a friend. I’ll start the fork rebuilt shortly. Looking forward to it. 

Poconos Porsche Parade final day

Final day of the 2022 Poconos Porsche Parade. I drove the 2006 Cayenne S in the Parade today including a lap around the Pocono Speedway.
