Annie Seel is a Swedish motorcycle racer and adventurer. Among her credits, Annie has competed in four Dakar events, including the 2010 race in Argentina and Chile.
In 2003, Annie was part of a group that tried to set an motorcycle altitude record on Mt Everest. With a couple of assists from porters making their way up the trail to the advanced base camp, Annie rode her stock Honda XL250 to an altitude of 5305 meters.
Annie's diary offers a glimpse into the challenges faced when riding in Nepal and Tibet.

I have read a couple of reports about a Chinese group that managed to get to 6100 meters on Mt Everest in 2006. The record for an unsupported rider is about 5700 meters in India. See http://www.60kph.com/interact/marsimekla_tips.htm
