Deus. It's Latin for god. Deus ex machina means god from the machine. Dues are something else entirely.

But it's also a shop that doesn't reply to emails or phone enquiries about parts which they are the sole NZ agent for.
Doubt I will persue any further possible purchaces via them.
Fail. MHO

Same experience for me, same course of action. Bought my parts from a company in the USA instead. Cheaper and they answered their e-mails...

I was in and out of Shed 5 all the time while I was couriering. Didn't look like anyone was at all serious about selling motorcycles or parts. It's mostly a T-shirt and coffee shop with a bunch of bikes on display on pedestals scattered around. Most of what went on seemed to be more related to the owner's plan on turning the site into an apartment building. I was always running to and fro between Shed 5 and various solicitors and real estate outfits.

The Deus Ex thing is more of a hobby for the chap who owns it, I think. He just likes bikes and wanted to put a few on display. There are no motorcycle-shop type staff in there. Just coffee girls and T-shirt salesmen.

If you actually want to buy and ride a Deus Ex machine you're probably better to deal directly with the builders in Oz.

Maybe this shop opening up in Newmarket will take a more focused approach to the business of actually selling and servicing motorcycles. Who knows. If there was a proper Deus Ex shop in town I bet they'd sell very well.

I asked about a seat once. Got blank looks. Never saw anybody in the workshop either, thought it was just a display.

I'd be surprised. NZ's way too small for that to happen.

From what they were charging, a couple of bikes a year would be more than I am earning.

Yeah I might've too. If I was a sick cunt with too much money. As it is, I'm only one of those things.

I went to Deus plenty of times and on a number of occasions saw the guys working in the workshop,It was a coffee shop which also built bikes and had bike stuff for sale and on display, seemed pretty cool to me.

I have seen them working on bikes out the back....proper bikes with air cooling and twin shocks :innocent:
Some say :psst: he has made his dosh and this is just a hobby..... sounds good to me.....although I'd have a micro brewery as well.:drinknsin.....and maybe blues and jazz music with a 1940's 50's feel......

No speculation in it Dave.
If a business isn't interested in fielding enquiries about $2000 worth of components that they are the sole agent for, then a bad rep will grow quickly.

Nevermind, the US manufacturer has been emailed, and hopefully I will be able to buy direct through them. After all Doots shit service is hurting the US daddy company also.

They, (Deus), should stick to boardies and Lattes.

I heard that York Street Mechanics have been closed for refurbishment since before Xmas 2014 but has never reopened. There is a cool warehouse motorcycle sales workshop and cafe in 15 Eden Street, Newmarket AUCKLAND. worth checking out. Their chief mechanic Neil is a genius and he used to work in Deus/ York Street Mechanics too.
