Bonneville Speedweek Report

Leslie Porterfield, owner of High Five Cycles in Dallas and renowned Motorcycle Record Breaker, gives an up-to-date account of what's going on in her world.

The production Sir Speedy CBR 1000 bike made history this year as the first Production 1000cc motorcycle to be clocked over 200 mph at Speed Week for the BUB Speed Trials at Bonneville! It pulled off an impressive pass at a 201mph average through the mile.

The team worked on the Sir Speedy turbo bike, also a CBR1000. It was running and handling great, just in time for rain to set in! I would hit impressive speeds in the first couple of miles, then slow down considerably through the important place- the timed mile.

The surface just wasn't offering any traction! It did see average speeds through the mile over 200mph, but not quite fast enough to reach my goals: a new record.

I am getting ready for some appearances and presentations at the International Motorcycle Shows in Dallas on Nov. 13-14, Long Beach Dec. 18-19, Cleveland January 29-30, and Chicago Feb. 12-13.

The next racing journey is being planned. I am working diligently on making it to Lake Gairdner in Australia for their Speedweek in March. Things are coming together so far. I am hoping it will work out well!

I just received news from the FIM that I have been nominated as the Woman Rider of the Year! This is exciting news! It's quite an honor to be recognized by an international sanctioning body such as this! I am looking forward to the awards banquet in Portugal on Dec. 3!
