Porterfields commitment to racing and her strength have earned her the respect of the entire industry. Industry professionals agree that Porterfields achievements both on and off the track are influential in changing the field of womens racing for years to come.

Porterfield is from Dallas, Texas and has been riding and racing motorcycles since she was 16. She has always loved a challenge and thrived in competitive fields usually reserved for men. In 2005 she opened High Five Cycles and her dream of setting a record at Bonneville took flight. The road to achieving her goal was not an easy one but she never gave up. In August of 2007 she made her first attempt and was sidelined when she crashed going 110 mph. She was care-flighted to the hospital with 7 broken ribs, punctured lung and concussion.

Where some would have backed away, Porterfield was just getting started. Her motto of If it were easy, everyone would do it, had her back to the Salt Flats more determined than ever. In 2008 at Bonneville she set her first record at 209 mph on a naked (unfaired) motorcycle. The record earned her the honor of being the first woman in Bonnevilles 61 year history to earn her red hat and be in the prestigious 200MPH Club. 2008 was her year with an unparalleled fastest world record of any woman on a motorcycle at 232 mph. This same event was where she first set the 1000cc production class record on a Honda CBR1000RR.

This year, Porterfield is proud to be riding the Sir Speedy Honda and is representing American Honda Motor Co., Bazzaz, Honda Pro Oils & Chemicals, Shoei, Ohlins, PMP,TCX, Dunlop, Apex, Worldwide Bearings, Pompis, Fieldsheer and Foremost Insurance at Bonneville.
