Bali Bloodnok

Aug 18, 2011
The original “Major Bloodnok” motorcycle was a Kawasaki W650 and the brainchild of Deus Australia’s creative director, Carby Tuckwell. We, being the masters of disguise and manipulation, decided to pay homage to the Ol’ Chap and stripped down a Honda GL200, added a custom aluminum alloy tank, custom Deus frame, custom Deus black cone exhaust, a set of SSX 225 Yamaha front shocks, TK Japanese rims with 120-80-18 & 100-80-18 front and rear Swallow tires, clicked and dragged on some other custom parts and called it a day.

On the edge of Harajuku, a bold new sign has risen - The Residence of Impermanence - in Harajuku, Tokyo, is back. Art, surfboards, motorcycles, apparel, café, music - a place where all kinds of enthusiasms collide. Step inside to the Deus Café - a breezy open ceiling space, serving all-day breakfast and the perfect energy for every moment. We're not ones to argue with that. Climb the spiral staircase to surfboards quietly lined against a softly lit backdrop.

Shaped exclusively for the Residence by Takuya “Tappy” Yoshikawa, Tetsuya Ogawa, and Jared Mell, each board is one of a kind. Sofas once beloved at the former Harajuku store — crafted by TRUCK Furniture and Stephen Kenn — have been reupholstered and brought to life for their next chapter. They’ll take on new character with time — just like this place. We invite you to settle in and enjoy the flow.

Same name. New form. The spirit remains, just slightly rearranged. Come in, stay awhile. Find us at 2-32-5 Jingumae, Shibuya-Ku, BPR Square Jingumae 1-1F & 2F Tokyo.

In Benzin Veritas!
