Re: What boards DID you take to Indo?
Anyway cranky as I said before....it's good so many people don't want to ride them......you can pick up a very well designed surfboard by a gun shaper that will last for years for the same...or less than another bashed up pile of poop that will be in the landfill by Xmas.
The reference to "plastic" surfboards is a bit of a furphy anyway. We aren't talking about balsa. Most of the highly toxic chemicals that are used in surfboard production are an environmental nightmare.

Yeah. ATM you could pick up two Byrne Easyriders, a 6'10 and a 7', in good condition for $375 each at my LBS, and as as new 6'6 Fish (remarkably similar to what Machado was riding in Bali) for $400. That's $1,150 for a quiver to ride anything from knee to double anywhere for $1,150Beanpole wrote:....you can pick up a very well designed surfboard by a gun shaper that will last for years for the same...or less than another bashed up pile of poop that will be in the landfill by Xmas.

Yes, no one would be silly enough to do that though.

Hate to be picky here, but my eight board quiver that'll cover knee high to triple plus overhead cost me fifty dollars less, courtesy of gumtreeCranked wrote:That's $1,150 for a quiver to ride anything from knee to double anywhere for $1,150

The worst of all are the scooters that abound in Indo. In reality, despite their Yamaha and Honda branding, they must all have been designed and built in the Cobra factory in Thailand.Davros wrote:Any road bike that is 250cc four stroke made after 1980 is the banal of motor cycles.

The Honda EX5 and C90 are reliable workhorses.

Like the Deus bikes. Actually where are they built I wonder?Cranked wrote:The worst of all are the scooters that abound in Indo.

I looked up your dream bike, blimey 177k for a mint condition. Must be the Ferrari of vintage bikes.

Re: What boards DID you take to Indo?
Deus basically started as a vanity project based on how Japanese locals did up postal bikes over there. It's all about customising. Pushies and motorbikes. All the money comes from everything else they sell.

Ok - interesting, so Deus bikes are very gaylordian then. I thought they were handcrafted out of Italian coffee machine parts.

Re: What boards DID you take to Indo?
If you aspire to cool in Bali this is what you ride:
That ones a bit too newish looking though, you really need something older and crappier, something with character. Like 15 layers of tape on those racks, a rusted heat affected exhaust pipe with more ragged asbestos tape

You aren’t the room Yuke You are just a wonky cafe table with a missing rubber pad on the end of one leg.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Re: What boards DID you take to Indo?
No....it's all a bit of a wank. Then again so is mature men hooning around on bikes....and surfing for that matter. I'm a big fan of Dare Jennings. I remember the heated debates about Mambo on here when it first kicked off.Davros wrote:Ok - interesting, so Deus bikes are very gaylordian then.

Shops in LA, Tokyo, Bali. He was invited to open a shop in Milan.....by Ducati I think.
Sold Mambo.....now it's in fcuking Kmart or where ever.
