The Bonneville
Leslie Porterfield is one amazingly fast woman. She has the top time on a sit-on motorcycle from the 2009 BUB Speed Trials at Bonneville. 240 miles per hour is crazy fast on a bike.
I met her at Femmoto a couple of years ago. We talked about her leathers, Fieldsheer has a picture of her on their site but they don’t sell them. I contacted them to see about the suit but they never got back to me, turns out they were a custom job for her since they are one of her sponsors.

Ridden by Gregor Moe, a Victory Kingpin motorcycle managed to set a new national speed run record of 165.8 mph during the BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials on the Bonneville Salt Flats. The record was set for the 2000-M-AG class, which includes bikes of up to 2,000cc with modified frames that are gas-powered but do not use turbochargers or superchargers.
