So another action packed weekend has come to pass. We now have time to catch our breath again. With the Top Gear Festival in full swing, the Deus crew was flat out battling the 30+ degree temps over the two days out at the Sydney Motorsport Park. With a full featured stand, including a NASA Airstream Van, The Chev truck, 2 Corvettes and of course 15 odd bikes, Deus had a huge presence across the entire venue, enough so that Captain Slow (James May) decided to beat the heat under our stand while oggling over the beautiful works of metal and rubber. As the festival provided more events and attractions than one could poke a stick at including, Webber setting a new … View More

A thumper is a motorcycle with a four stroke, single cylinder engine. It is called a thumper for the sound it makes. It goes thump, thump, thump. We like them because they’re lightweight, torque-y, easy to maintain, and make that sweet sound. Thump, thump, thump. There’s a whole community of folks who like them, a whole world actually. Putting on our first proper motorcycle show at the Emporium of Postmodern Activities, we were a bit nervous. Would there be enough people? Would there be enough bikes? We weren’t too sure. So when our first thumper enthusiast arrived at 10 am, telling us he had just jumped a flight from Seattle expressly for our event, there was a feeling of “oh … View More

In preparation for last Saturday’s swap meet, 70 fortunate diners were treated to a three course meal. H.G Nelson’s humour for entrée, a substantial sizing of Bob Mctavish’s history and knowledge for mains. Rich Pavel helped serve up some after dinner treats followed by Q’n’As with Mr Mctavish. With an introduction from H.G that nobody saw coming it left everybody in stitches before they even started eating, which lead into a presentation from the man himself, addressing 5 key periods not only in surfing but also his carrer. Every one needed a chance to process all of the priceless education so it was time to eat. with a very morish avocado and prawn starter it set the scene for a beautifully rich, tender braised beef cheek … View More

Every now and then, the crowded points of Noosa appear differently. Something queer happens in the water after school holidays, publicised or dying swells, after surfers have had their fill. The crowds disappear. There are even odd occasions that I find myself alone at one of the usually packed, points. These moments seem to pop up out of nowhere and never last long. Photographed here, in complete contrast to every other day of the same week, was one of those moments. Instead of bumping rails with the rest of southeast Queensland’s surfing population, I was surfing alone. Noosa had just seen its second Cyclone swell for the year. Surfers were either catching up on work they’d ignored, trying to explain … View More

In case you didn’t hear, there was a not-so-little motorcycle show up in Portland over the weekend and we went. Here’s how the dang thing unraveled: A few custom bikes were tucked into the van including The Sevenish out of our own Woolie’s Workshop, a bike by Roland Sands, and a shiny Norton from Kim Boyle Customs. Creeping carefully north, the three bikes were deposited safely at Sandbox Studios in the heart of Portland to start a weekend to end all weekends. Folks flocked from all corners of the earth to touch, taste, and see all the wonderfulness The One Motorcycle Show had on bottomless tap. Michael Woolaway was out in good form to unveil his latest piece of rolling hottness dubbed … View More
