He was joined on his most recent visit by his son Joe, we saw an opportunity and grabbed it with two hands (sorry Bryan couldn’t help ourselves), dragging the dapper gents upstairs to step infront of the camera wearing some select pieces from the new Winter range.

Stories were swapped, coffee was imbibed and shutters were released leaving us with a magazine full of great shots. Big thanks to Bryan and Joe for making our range look so damn good.

The middle ground is generally where two sides relate and often the perfect place to collaborate. Its where we find comfort and balance, a place to wander and experiment with all our influences past and present. From school team heros to college club rebels, dusty road trippers to campsite endeavours. These are the layers of a mans complexion.

Upon sending a chargé d’affaires to make initial contact with Shinya on the grounds of The Emporium, we found ourselves in possession of a summons to visit Shinya and his sidekick Ayu at their workshop in Azusa, CA. This preliminary visit occurred a fortnight later, resulting in three blown minds, several rolls of exposed 35mm film, an autographed jacket, and more importantly, an invitation—to go for a ride up through the San Gabriel Mountains to an undisclosed alpine café—for lunch. This lunch ride would occur another month later with a small outfit of Deus Ex Machina officers commanded by their Supreme Leader, Dare Jennings, all being led up Highway 39 by Shinya Kimura aboard his Honda and Ayu piloting her Yamaha. These are the photos documenting the visits and the ride up San Gabriel Canyon Road high into the cold and misty climes of Crystal Lake.

Take the day off, surf your brains out and head back whatever life you live, feeling refreshed. If your a surfer and your missing the quality time in the water that your accustomed to, your not as happy as you should be. I know you have your favourite, within striking distance, surf spot. Go to it! You’ve got one day, but this is not a day trip… nope, it’s a little more than that. It’s simple, leave home the night before, skip the traffic and cruise the quiet highways to whatever destination you’ve decided on. No getting in the car to begin the journey that morning, no peak hour traffic, your supposed to be taking advantage your sick day. Stress less. Get as much time in the water as you can. Arrive in the dark, sleep in the car, in the car park, on the beach. Wake up before the sun rises – surf – hit your favourite coffee shop – surf – hit your favourite lunch spot – surf – hit your favourite dinner spot. Et voila’, your back on the road (after traffic) and heading home with a smile on your face. Surfed out, tired and happier than when you left, and you know what? If you time it right, you’ll slide into waves just like I did on my last night-day-night trip, or whatever you call it.

Durring the festival last weekend, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up the chance of documenting each snazzy bike and their owner. Resulting in a competition awarding the best bike and rider combo with a custom Deus trophy. Congrats to Harley who won with his beautifully detailed sr500. Thanks to Thomas Walk for the Awesome shots!

Saturday the 27th of April was The Festival of Thump No.2. Every man and his single cylinder rocked up to the Camperdown Headquarters to hang out and ogle at his fellow thumpers machine. The Car park was cleared once again to make way for the likes of Tommy J on behalf of Uppercut to trim some hair, the Sydney Cafe Racers were recruiting new members and of course our own 2nd hand parts den was open to anyone in desperate need of a new lever or tyre. Over the course of the day more than 200 bikes lapped up and down Barr St including the weird and wonderful, a Moto Guzzi powered carbon fibre roadster, a Triumph on air suspension powered by a super charger, not to mention the endless supply of single cylinder Yamahas, Hondas, Kawasakis, the list goes on. For those brave enough The 4 arm 2 hand wheel change was held to test competitors dignity and egos and, to top it all off The Deus Cafe Staff Provided the hungry with pork rolls straight off the spit as well as homemade lemonade.
