Postmodern Motorcycles coming soon to Fitzroy

While wandering down a laneway photographing some new street art last week I met Jim Clark (no, not the late Formula 1 world champion – that would have been weird) and found possibly the coolest thing I have ever found in a Fitzroy laneway.

Jim owns an old warehouse that is the workshop for his company Postmodern Motorcycles (website coming soon).

Jim gives Honda postie bikes the retro cafe racer treatment, kind of like Deus ex Machina (but  more affordable) for the discerning urban rider who wants something other than a scooter.

Apart from his own vintage BSA (below) the bikes pictured here are demo models that will be ready to test ride soon. I’ll do another post when Jim’s open for business with more details.
