(ID) Deus Ex Machina

It didn’t seem possible that a full twelve months had passed, but there we were again, dressed entirely unsuitably for tropical weather and waving the flag for men’s mental health.

Celebrating fifteen years globally, this year’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride Bali delivered the sort of route that makes you forget you’re sitting on a hot motorcycle in too many layers.

Developed through the partnership between Zagato and La Squadra, the AGTZ Twin Tail reimagines the spirit of endurance racing through contemporary coachbuilding. For this special one-off, Deus was invited to complete the project with a hand-drawn exterior livery by the brands Creative Director Carby Tuckwell.

Nestled in the eastern armpit of Bali is a trio of islets, the Nusa’s… Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida. It’s a place where days drift by on pale white sand and afternoons are punctuated by debates around dinner plans.
