Leslie Porterfield has a passion for motorbikes, and can push her motorcycle to phenomenal speeds. She is the first woman included in the Bonneville 200 MPH Club while on a conventional motorcycle, and holds numerous land speed records:
“… she just got back from the Flats, where she earned the BUB Speed Trials Top Time Award for a 240-mph one-way streak.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like out on the famed 30,000-acre Flats, Porterfield reports that they’re indeed vast, flat and occasionally “slushy” after rains.”
