N8! Whats the scoop on the SKRR?

Nate, you are probably the only person in this forum right now that has ridden hot rodded R12S, HP2S and the SKRR. Give those of us here considering purchase a head to head comparison please.

N8's not talking...either he is too busy having fun riding the new SKRR or he too, is changing his shorts. N8, which is it?

Nate has a 2 day track day in August at Roebling just outside Savannah, GA
Great time to see the S1000RR and the HP2 side by side, both on and off the track.

Nate told me at the MOA National, but something in the Tennessee water messed up my brain memory process.....Or a relapse of the 6 hour flu.
I'm waiting for confirmation from Nate.

Since he's being paid right now by BMW to sell the S1000RR, which do you think he's going to rave about?

He still loves the HP2S... but I came away with the impression that he was quite smitten by the K1RR as well. However, his heart still hangs with the flat-twins and he is trying everything he can to keep racing these things and being competitive!

I hope there's a tongue firmly planted in your cheek. I've never known of Nate to do anything except speak the truth.

Yeah, all the experts on the WERA Boards... brilliant, who wants to read this junk?

Jerry knows Nate very well, I know Nate very well and you could ask countless people who also know him (as a person, NOT a racer) and they will telly you the same.

Of course, he changes suits when he starts racing but if his competitors can't take it, they are not made for racing... that's it... get with it or get over it.

Oh dear, Do you think you're the first person to discover Nate? You have no idea. Im not talking about competitors you moron. Im talking about who he is and where he came from and what hes done off the track. He's got a history, and that will not change just because you dont know the truth.

Well now, curious George (are all people by that name idiots, btw.?) aren't we glad that you know it all? I am sure that you (and all the other WERA Board Members) are plain angels with nothing but the greater good of mankind in mind.

You don't get to the top of ANYTHING by being nice and considerate all the time... real life just does not work that way.

The only naive person in this case is you, George... miserable as well, it seems... I'll leave it at that by feeling a little for you.

Well, maybe not...

I guess anyone capable enough to have actually done anything has something they aren't proud of in their past. I know Nate pretty well and I like the guy....warts and all. I hope others can say the same about me.....but if they can't....well OK.

This is priceless. Ralf, by this logic, I guess you're the next president of the United States, eh?

George, it doesn't take much of a man to attack another person with a keyboard.

i've only attacked someone with a key board once.

it was over quickly.

keyboards suck in a fight.
next time it's crowbar or a hammer or...

Always deal from the position of power. A friend of mine was at a traffic light and the car next to him was in a turn lane but didn't turn with the right turn light. My buddy rolled his window down and told the guy he was in a turn lane. The other guy flipped him off. My buddy took a 45 from his glove compartment and laid it on the dash. The other guy reached in his backseat and laid the barrel of a shotgun out his window. My friend put his pistol up and let the other guy go through the light first.

No, Kyle... by that logic I sold my business and took (at least) a year of to take a trip I always wanted to take... I'll leave the rat-race to the likes of you and George...

Also, if you are aware of the limits of your constitutions, I CAN NOT become president of the US... I think we have a good one right now anyway... no the GEORGE is gone!
