I dunno about you guys, but I wasn&#8217;t aware there was a shop here in NZ.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shop is right down the street from me. It&#8217;s super super nice!<\/li>\n<li>They have a &#8220;No Photos&#8221; policy, bummer. So I found a few pics on the web.<\/li>\n<li>The name is Shed 5, but it&#8217;s a Deus Ex Machina shop? Seems their branding is a little confused. No one in the USA knows what Shed 5 is. They should stick with Deus and keep it all consistent.<\/li>\n<li>Turns out it&#8217;s a full-blown retail shop. I was expecting something more like 4 guys working on cycles. Not 4 people selling products.<\/li>\n<li>Yes, they do have a workshop where they do restoration and custom builds. It&#8217;s in the back.<\/li>\n<li>I was expecting to be one of the only customers in there. I was wrong, it was packed with maybe 25 people. There&#8217;s a full Cafe inside too, with sandwiches and $14 Chicken Salads.<\/li>\n<li>Retail side is big and impressive. $14,000 motorcycles for sale on the floor.<\/li>\n<li>$480 &#8211; 3\/4 helmets for sale.<\/li>\n<li>$800 &#8211; Schott Leather Jackets for sale.<\/li>\n<li>I really wanted to buy a t-shirt, but they were $114<\/li>\n<li>Behind the parts counter is a ton of custom stuff. Want a Cafe tank? They have it. Want a Cafe seat? They have it.<\/li>\n<li>I talked to 2 employees; a guy in parts, and a girl in clothing, both were really nice and friendly.<\/li>\n<li>They have about 30 cycles out on the floor. Everything ranging from refurbished Nortons, to Harley Cafe Racers, to vintage MV Agusta, to Honda Dream 50r<\/li>\n<li>Real impressive. I spent a bit of time looking at all the classic cycles on display.<\/li>\n<li>Wish I could&#8217;ve taken pics of the inside.<\/li>\n<li>They have 1 wall where they have about 15 vintage BMX bikes hanging up. Real nice!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"cott-article__copy-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/deus-02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/deus-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"deus-02\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3712\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"cott-article__copy-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/deus-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/deus-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"deus-01\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3712\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"cott-article__copy-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/deus-03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/deus-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"deus-03\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3712\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s a really rad shop.
