#POSTIE MOTORBIKES FOR SALE FULL#
You can read the full story behind this one HERE.
The idea behind this build was that it not only had to be eye catching but it also had to serve as a working beer dispenser. Then there are the one-off builds like this nuts looking chopper built by Rising Sun Workshop and Young Henrys. These guys build in the scrambler style but all its bikes are custom-made to suit the owners wants and needs, but they offer things like wooden front and rear racks and even surfboard carriers. Love it.Īnother awesome CT110 tweaker is Dusted Customs at Moto in Noosa. The Junk Mail is just that, built from bits it had lying around the workshop the frame has been stretched 200mm. And the Pinko Bastard is Champion’s ‘take’ on the CT110. The Parcel Bomb by Champion Abbotsford was built, it says, for trails and tar. The workshop is out the back of the beer garden at the Yarra Hotel in Melbourne and the bikes that Jim turns out are perfect for gentlemen riders or learners…me, I want one of every single bike he makes. So, what makes the postie bike a great project? Simple, it’s cheap to buy a second-hand one, the parts are cheap and if you buy an ex-postie bike then you’ll be getting one that’s been tweaked with tougher bits and pieces to handle the rigours of suburban mail delivery.Īny custom postie bike article has to lead with the daddy of the business and that is Champion Abbotsford run by Jim Clark. And while there are a bunch of top-class custom bike builders in Australia that will build you the ultimate scrambler only a couple advertise as exclusive builders of custom postie bikes. But more specifically in customising them. So, the other day when Honda announced the tougher, rough-road oriented CT125 was going on-sale in Australia it got me thinking about motorbikes again. But I’ve never lost that lust for bikes, especially custom bikes as opposed to racers, and the postie bike holds a special place in my heart. My parents agreed…and even though I pestered them for a postie bike of my own I never got one. But we didn’t back then.īut even then I felt that me, mixed with motorbikes was a recipe for disaster. The first and last motorcycle I ever rode was a postie bike…and I loved it even though I opened the throttle right up straight away and nearly came off the thing.
