Leslie Porterfield on The Thunder Road Show 01/04/09

Just about everyone has found an open stretch of highway with nobody in site and sped up a little.

Some of us have even floored it trying to push the limits of our own fear of speed.

For Leslie Porterfield top end blasts are second nature. Kind of like walking or driving a stick shift car.

Leslie, pictured on the left with Jason Britton of Speed Channels popular show "Super Bikes", holds 3 land speed records on a motorcyle.

Last August Leslie set a record of 209 mph in the 1300cc motorcyle division along with 2 other landspeed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Leslie a native Texan who lives and works in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area runs a motorcycle shop called High Five Cycles for a living and resets records for fun.

Don't forget to listen in Sunday as Leslie will tell Doug and Blue what its like blow up an engine at 245 mph on the salt flats.
