Willie Shakes Rides Again – 7 Ages Custom Motorcycles
You got some serious brass nads when you name your bikes after characters from the Bard, and the guys at 7 Ages Customs over in Britannia? They do that…
This one is called, MacBeth.
I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself
And falls on the other.
Macbeth, Scene VII
