Ladies FirstDiva Customs opened in Virginia Beach, Virginia with a completely new and different philosophy: A motorcycle shop completely designed and built for the style and needs of the woman rider. Tami Walker started the shop out of frustration of not having anything to ride in that wasn't originally designed by or for a man, and was just as suited for a day of riding as it is for walking into dinner at a nice restaurant.
DC is a dealer for Custom Chrome, Drag Specialties, Pauchco, S&S, LePera, and many others. The final area of the shop is a very well equipped service center, with four lifts, complete fabrication facilities, a motorcycle detailing shop, and a Dynojet 200i Dynometer.
Diva Customs also hosts an annual Divas Only Bike Show that is growing with each year, featuring bikes owned only by women. Check out their website for more details!

All About EthylLeroy-Thompson Choppers announces the release of the Ethyl frame, the frame used on Leroy-Thompson's industrially inspired hot rod Biker Build-Off bike. This particular bike showcased Scott Webster's imagination, combining simplicity of design and raw hand-formed metals with functionality and high-performance parts. The BBO bike is clean and begs to be ridden. Like all Leroy-Thompson products, the Ethyl is the hand-made creation of Scott Webster and built with inspiration drawn from his passion for hot rods, motorcycle racing, V-twins, and his industrial background in the Midwest.
The Ethyl is a low and sleek frame with all kinds of curves, built for housing a 250mm tire. All Leroy-Thompson frames are manufactured with 1/8- and 3/16-inch DOM tubing for strength and durability, and the Ethyl has a bent and drilled downtube for killer looks. The Ethyl is available 3-inches out with either a 30 or 40-degree rake and 31-inch neck height, and in either a Sportster or Big Twin platform. Like all Leroy-Thompson frames, the Ethyl is also available as a roller. Everything is machined in-house, including the axle covers and neck.
