One of my customers reported his recent results to me the other day and after obtaining a few details from him I concluded they were worthy of SINCERE RESPECT.

His name is Keith Parnell and he's been a very successful motorcycle spinter and Drag racer for MANY years over which time he's raced a wide variety of bikes using most forms of power enhancement.
A couple of years ago he started on his current project, a NA Kawasaki streetbike which he decided to fit with a WON/DynoSpeed dry nitrous system.

Despite the usual set backs (unrelated to the nitrous) like blowing out the gearbox internals he recently ran a PB of 9.08 secs.

Now I'm not quite sure how that compares with other bikes in his class (although I suspect it must be reasonably good) but the thing that makes his results SO OUTSTANDING, is the fact that he's about to celebrate his 72nd birthday :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

If only we could all grow old so "gracefully"!!!!!! :shock: :shock:

Here's "probably" the quickest pensioner in the world on 2 wheels (if not 4 as well) in action;

and one of him at rest. ;)

Growing "old" may be compulsary, but obviously growing "up" isn't !

Jeez, if that's what the old dog's like, what the hell was he like as a puppy ?
