Photo: 7 Ages
There are two cool things about 7 Ages' Othello: the fact that the bike looks absolutely stunning, and the fact that it won a prize right after crashing during the ride to the contest. And this says pretty much everything about it.
Othello is Hamlet's brother, at least when it comes to the 7 Ages machines. Just like Hamlet, Othello was built from a new Harley-Davidson FXD. However, it now retains rather few of the original Superglide attire, as 7 Ages hacked and chopped into the bike to give it a completely new life.
The frame is obviously a hardtail one, engineered to accommodate a bobber set of tires: 23" for both front and rear, adding stability and balance. The long chassis looks as retro and awesome as it gets, and the springer fork and custom mid-sized ape-hanger handlebars are simply stupendous. Oh, and bar-end mounted turn signals... yes sir!
With a custom fuel tank to match both the oldschool look and the beautiful flowing curves of the bike, Othello looks both slender and clean, despite its generous wheelbase. A spring-loaded retro seat and a custom fender wrapped around the rear wheel, forward controls and classic black exhaust wrap and here's Othello, in all its splendor.
During an 1,700-mile (2,735 km) trip from the UK to Cascais, Portual, back in 2012, Othello crashed. It still won the Best Custom bike award in the show. Nothing else speaks more of how cool 7 Ages' art is.
