Don't judge a book by it's cover

Post by climbatize »

Leslie Porter of Texas.

First woman to enter the 200 mph club on a conventional sit-on motorcycle. Last year she made a one-way pass and clocked 240.3 mph (386.8 km/h), shattering the Altered Partially Streamlined Blown Fuel 1350cc world record by 13 mph (21 km/h) & netting her the Top Time Award for sit-on bikes, the first time this prize was ever won by a woman. What a stunna!

That'd be Leslie Porterfield. There was a docco on her on Foxtel recently. She owns a bike shop too.

..and in doing her world record run she threw a rod just before the 1 mile mark.

She also has the record for fastest on a proddy bike. A Firebalade at 320km/h

My thoughts exactly, With a cover like that, the book would have to be awesome :D :D :kuda:

She won't hear you. She is deaf from excessive turbine/high speed noise.

She doesnt need to hear you. Just bang her on the head with your club and drag her back to your cave. Works a treat i tells ya.
