THE DEUS MAGINIFICENT 7+1 : A DEUS CUSTOMS BIKES AUCTION

May 20, 2022

We have decided to open our personal garage for a never-before-seen online auction with no reserve. Together with Catawiki, we selected a range of 7 +1 magnificent bikes, which have been the main characters of our events and shootings.

8 unique pieces crafted in the last years by the Deus Milano Workshop, each one carrying a story to tell, each one with a strong personality.

You have two weeks to bid your way to one of our custom bikes and become the owner of a one-of-a-kind motorcycle - from the 22nd of May to the 5th of June

Deus Ex Machina’s temples around the world have been shrines to ‘run-what-you-brung’ resourcefulness and street-honest industrial art. In Milan, behind the doors of the Deus Workshop Milano, this creativity blossomed month by month in bikes that made our hearts beat at first glance. The world of motorcycles has shown its appreciation for these machines and you might have already seen a few on magazine covers or displayed around the world.

It’s sad for us to let them go, but we can’t clip their wings and we must let those 8 magnificent bikes ride their ride. On the other hand, we’re happy to use part of the income to support the DGR. In fact, you might see a few of these bikes rolling during the event in Milan on the 22nd of May.

Abbiamo deciso di aprire il nostro garage personale per la prima volta in occasione di un’asta senza riserva unica nel suo genere. Insieme a Catawiki, abbiamo selezionato 7 + 1 magnifiche motociclette per partecipare ad un’asta online dedicata esclusivamente a Deus Ex Machina.

La scuderia è composta da 8 pezzi unici creati negli ultimi anni dietro le porte del Deus Workshop di Milano, ognuna con una storia e una personalità definita, utilizzate in shooting ed eventi in tutta europa.

Per due settimane si ha la possibilità di diventare il proprietario di una motocicletta firmata Deus Customs, dal 22 di Maggio al 5 Giugno 2022.

I templi Deus Ex Machina in giro per il mondo sono sempre stati dei santuari della creatività, dove è sempre apprezzata l’espressione artistica applicata a qualsiasi campo.

Nel tempio milanese, questa spinta creativa si è dedicata alla customizzazione di moto anno per anno, con l’obbiettivo di far battere il cuore a prima vista come denominatore comune. La scena motociclistica mondiale ha sempre mostrato il suo apprezzamento per questi lavori che in più casi sono finiti in copertina o portate in esposizione in giro per il mondo.

Non è facile separarsi da moto con cui si sono passate delle avventure speciali, ma non possiamo tarparne le ali e ci sentiamo di doverle lasciarle libere per una nuova strada.

D’altra parte, siamo felici di devolvere una parte delle entrate al Distinguished Gentleman's Ride e supportarne la causa. Infatti, sarà possibile seguire alcune di queste magnifiche motociclette durante il ride annuale milanese il 22 Maggio.

Per chi non riuscirà ad esserci, sarà sempre possibile venirci a trovare al Deus Workshop di Milano dove saremo felici di mostrare le magnifiche 7 + 1 a chiunque.

Setiap tahun, teman-teman kita Tasix Adventure—penyelenggara petualangan ban berlumpur dan adrenalin berbahan bakar terbaik di Bali—mengadakan acara akhir pekan berkemah yang sangat dinanti-nantikan. Mereka menamakannya “ The Wild,” dan jujur saja, tidak ada kata yang lebih pas dari itu.

Ini bukan sekadar acara; ini adalah petualangan wajib bagi siapa saja yang mencintai tanah, tantangan, dan persahabatan yang hanya bisa terjalin saat tertawa melihat teman lain terjatuh.

Hal tentang The Wild adalah misterinya. Kamu tidak tahu ke mana akan pergi, bagaimana sampai di sana, atau apa yang akan kamu temui—seperti hidup, tapi dengan lebih banyak asap knalpot.

Tahun ini, The Wild yang berlangsung pada 7 Desember 2024, mengumpulkan 135 pecinta motor enduro, trail, dan cross di Desa Kopi, Tabanan. Tepat pukul 9 pagi, kami berangkat menuju Desa Gesing, Singaraja. Rute tetap dirahasiakan hingga hari acara, meningkatkan sensasi penasaran dan antusiasme. Dengan dibagi menjadi beberapa kelompok kecil, kami melengkapi diri dengan perlengkapan motocross lengkap untuk menghadapi tantangan musim hujan.

Perjalanan? Murni magis. Jalur berkelok melalui permata tersembunyi Bali, di mana setiap tikungan menawarkan pemandangan yang memukau atau hampir membuat jantung berhenti. Rute tahun ini menghadirkan medan tanah liat merah—dijuluki tanah "keramik" karena teksturnya yang licin dan keras saat basah. Untuk melintasinya, diperlukan teknik khusus yang disebut “paddling the throttle,” sebuah manuver yang mendebarkan dengan motor yang sering bergoyang liar. Dari kejauhan, mungkin terlihat lucu, tetapi saat di atas motor? Ceritanya berbeda.

Setelah menempuh 68 kilometer petualangan liar, kami tiba di perkemahan di puncak bukit yang sudah dipenuhi tenda-tenda peserta lain dan deru knalpot. Destinasi selalu mencuri perhatian, dan yang satu ini tidak terkecuali—tempat tinggi dengan pemandangan 360 derajat yang menakjubkan dari laut, gunung, hingga kota.

Saat hujan turun, tenda-tenda didirikan, dan malam itu diisi dengan berbagi cerita tentang penyelamatan heroik dan kecelakaan yang menggelikan. Dan tentu saja, ada balapan. Bayangkan sekelompok pengendara penuh semangat meluncur di perbukitan dalam kekacauan yang terkontrol. Balapan tahun ini termasuk duel 1 lawan 1 yang seru di sekitar puncak bukit, dengan peserta menyelesaikan dua putaran penuh adrenalin.

Bukan soal menang; ini tentang hadir, tertawa, dan menikmati momen. Para pemenang dan peserta tercepat yang mencapai puncak bukit dirayakan dengan hadiah, tetapi senyuman, persahabatan, dan kebersamaan membuat semua orang merasa seperti juara.

The Wild tahun ini benar-benar sesuai namanya, bahkan lebih. Petualangan, tawa, dan cukup banyak tanah di gigi untuk menyebutnya otentik—kami tidak akan menginginkannya dengan cara lain. Terima kasih yang sebesar-besarnya kepada semua peserta yang menjadikannya pengalaman tak terlupakan. Sampai jumpa di petualangan berikutnya!

Every year, our mates over at Tasix Adventure—Bali’s finest purveyors of muddy tyres and fuel-driven adrenaline—host their much-anticipated camp-out weekend. They’ve named it “Wild,” and honestly, there’s no better word for it.

It’s not just an event; it’s a pilgrimage for anyone who loves dirt, daring, and the kind of camaraderie you can only forge while laughing at someone else’s wipeout.

The thing about Wild is that it’s shrouded in mystery. You don’t know where you’re going, how you’ll get there, or what you’ll find—kind of like life, but with more exhaust fumes.

This year’s Wild, held on Saturday, December 7, 2024, brought together 135 enthusiasts of enduro, trail, and cross motorcycles at Desa Kopi, Tabanan. The route was kept a secret until the event day, heightening the thrill of the unknown. At exactly 9 am, they shared the destination, Desa Gesing, Singaraja, Divided into small groups, we geared up with full motocross kits to tackle the rainy season’s challenges.

The ride? Pure magic. Twisting trails through Bali’s hidden gems, where every turn promised either breathtaking views or breathtaking near-misses. This year’s route featured red clay terrain—nicknamed "ceramic" soil for its slick, hard texture when wet. Navigating it required a special technique called “paddling the throttle,” a nerve-wracking maneuver that had bikes swaying wildly. From a distance, it might have looked hilarious, but on the bike? It was a whole other story.

After 68 kilometres of this wild adventure, we arrived at the hilltop campsite already alive with the buzz of activity and the roar of exhausts. The destination always steals the spotlight, and this one was no exception—a high-altitude perch offering stunning 360-degree views of the sea, mountains, and city.

As the rain came down, tents went up, and the evening was all about swapping stories of heroic saves and laughable crashes. And then there were the races. Picture a pack of overexcited riders tearing up the hillside in what can only be described as controlled chaos. This year’s races included thrilling 1-on-1 duels around the hilltop, with participants pushing through two laps of sheer adrenaline.

It wasn’t just about winning; it was about showing up, laughing, and embracing the moment. The race winners and the fastest hilltop arrivals were celebrated with prizes, but the smiles, the camaraderie, and the shared triumphs made everyone feel like champions.

This year’s Wild lived up to its name and then some. Adventure, laughter, and just enough dirt in your teeth to call it authentic—we wouldn’t have it any other way. A massive thank you to all the participants who made it unforgettable. See you on the next adventure!
