So, walk me through why it's a big deal again? Why the special category for "fastest female"? It's not like her bike knows whether it's a man or a woman on it. She's attractive and can use her right wrist



Do women make this big of a deal when they see an attractive man on a bike?



Anyway...



Wake me when she starts competing in real racing like the women listed below.



is running in the 125 class of British Superbikes



also runs in BSB.



Interesting article about India's only woman racer



And that's just a handful and not even counting the club level racers.

I think some of the attitudes expressed towards Leslie on this thread would disgust her, which pretty much explains why she is still "available". I think for a man to interest her he would have to be above such primal urges. Leslie has a delightful personality, anyway. How she bites her tongue in the face of a constant parade of drooling perverts is a wonder to me. She does a lot more than just ride land speed--she is quite knowledgable about motorcycles in general and sportbikes in particular. Leslie is a real woman, the kind that wears chrome fingernail polish to hide the grease underneath. James, if you ever get a chance to meet her, do so. You'll find she is a wonderful person through and through. She isn't a stuck-up bitch or a gold digger like most women as pretty as she is.

I have no doubt about any of that. She has to be at least somewhat knowledgeable to own a motorcycle shop as they are certainly not the cash cow of small businesses. It's definitely a thankless profession and one that's hard to break into and be profitable at.



I understand that she is one of a handful of women who compete in motorcycle sport but I don't understand why there would be a special category just for women. Like I said earlier, it's not like the bike knows a difference and with her helmet who would know. It's not like gymnastics where there is a physical difference between men and women. Once on the bike there's absolutely no difference between men and women. Bikes truly are the great equalizer because with helmet and leathers on you're pretty anonymous.



If this article was about a male model who was also a professional land speed holder I'm very sure that this article would not have been printed. In fact I'm pretty sure that the same guys who are saying great things about Leslie would be making derogatory comments instead.



Like Dogboy pointed out...it simply becomes another leg humping thread.

Actually, as was pointed out in the interview, there *isn't* different gender categories at Bonneville. Her record is for the fastest *person* in the class she rode in.



Impressive regardless of her gender.





Then perhaps the title of the thread should have just said "240mph busa rider" or something more gender neutral.



I mean it's like saying "she's fast for a woman" or someone is "in good shape for their age". You're either in shape or you're not and you're either fast or you're not.

Heebus H James, how many PC pills did you take?



It is far more interesting titling it as female, because be honest, there are not enough women in the sport. It gets our attention.

And if anyone then reacts like a pig, well, that's their deal.

"Hot Busa Babe Takes 2 Land Speed Records" would have done it. Cause if it didn't have "girl" or "babe" in the thread I probably wouldn't have looked...

I'm really not PC at all. I just don't like the idea of any one group getting special attention simply because of gender, race, sexual orientation, etc.
