The amazing Leslie Porterfield has set the Womens Land Speed Record at the Bonneville Salt Flats with a speed of 209.046mph.

She had to hold her speed for a full mile of the track which is not easy when a 5′-10″ woman that weight 115 pounds is traveling that fast on two wheels on a surface not renowned for great traction. She had the full 200mph wind hitting her all over. But she did it! And now she is the first woman in the Over 200 Club for speeds at Bonneville.

Last year Leslie tried for the record and the bike lost it at 110mph. 7 broken ribs and a punctured lung later, she fired herself up for another go of it this year on the same Suzuki Hayabusa bike.

When Leslie’s not showing the boys how it’s done, she’s running her dealership, High Five Cycles on LBJ Freeway between Greenville and Abrams.
