Flat out getting ready for the Slidetoberfest Flat Track

Our first Jakarta, Deus Kumpul-Kumpul Ride 2026 certainly lived up to its name, attracting riders from across the entire Jabodetabek. People began to gather at Taman Menteng from before 3 PM, despite the heavy rain that had punctuated the morning and early afternoon. Much to our relief, riders kept arriving, filling the area with an enthusiastic crowd with their kaleidoscope of custom motorcycles, Vespas, and the perennial crowd-pleasing classics.

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.
