Here you go Mrs Colleen
http://cbs11tv.com/local/land.speed.....2.807948.html Dallas Woman Breaks Land Speed Record Reporting Nerissa Knight DALLAS (CBS 11 News) ― Leslie Porterfield has a desk job by day, but by night she's a land speed racer. "I'm hopelessly hooked on motorcycles," she said. "My first mode of transportation was a motorcycle." The 32-year-old is an accountant and entrepreneur. She crunches numbers and crushes the expectations of many. "It's mostly men that hold all the records," she said. But now Porterfield is beating the boys in the male-dominated sport. Last week, Porterfield raced in the 60th Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah and broke a record. "It was like hanging onto a tornado," she said. "I had over 200 mph wind hitting me everywhere." She held on to her white Turbo Hiabusa bike as she broke 209 miles per hour. "It gives me great honor to be the first woman in the 200 mph club," she said. Last year, Porterfield was airlifted when she wrecked-out at 110 miles per hour. She suffered seven broken ribs. "I had a punctured lung and was knocked out," she said. But now she's back on her feet and her bike. "I'm actually going to my next event next week," she said. "I wanna keep going." |

So she doesn't hold any "records" she's just another person who has gone over 200 mph.... I respect land speed holders but wouldn't that bike go that fast with anyone of her size or smaller on it?

Well, the "record" she broke is that she's the first woman officially in the 200MPH club.
