Title: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: Dainesedan on June 19, 2009, 10:57:03 AM Just wanted to give everyone a head's up that Jorge Lorenzo will be visiting the store on Tuesday, June 30th and will be available for signings between 4:00pm and 6:00pm. Yes, I know you all would rather meet Mr. Stoner, but he rides for that "other" Italian apparel company.
Come by and meet one of the rising stars of MotoGP! Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: desmoquattro on June 19, 2009, 10:58:43 AM Dunno...I think a lot of people here would rather meet Nicky. But he rides for that other Italian apparel company too ;D

Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: DanTheMan on June 19, 2009, 01:15:18 PM Awesome! I'm curious to see that he's all about in person. about 4'9" [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: mostrobelle on June 19, 2009, 01:41:11 PM I love watchin' the guy race. He's an excellent addition to the GP grid. As much as I have enjoyed the many victories with Stoner at the helm of the Duc, he's really not all that exciting to have out there. He either wins or he doesn't. He's gracious and plays by the rules. He's a lovely person, but I like someone with a little evil in them and some spunk. that's Jorge. [thumbsup]

That's really low of you to mock the handicapped, John. Really low. Do you kill kittens for kicks, too?

Well, that kind of went without saying. Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: Orangettes on June 19, 2009, 04:45:37 PM Interesting, I actually like Jorge more then stacy stoner or nicky. He doesn't whines like others. He has the skills, right attitude and quality to replace Rossi.

Beyond that, I like his style, I sure as hell can't complain about this season being boring (and he's a big part of that) Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: w7ck7d on June 20, 2009, 04:27:58 AM Might be in [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: Desmostro on June 20, 2009, 07:47:05 AM I haven't found myself cheering for him ever, though I do like how he has been unnerving Vale. I find that rather entertaining.
Speaking of Vale, where is the ITALIAN rider who is sponsored by this Italian Company?! BTW - Where did you get your info on Jorge being deaf? I haven't seen anything to confirm. "[he] will be there signing..." He creeps me out as he's a dead ringer for my ex-wife. Beyond that, I like his style, I sure as hell can't complain about this season being boring (and he's a big part of that) I hope your taste in women has improved.

I thought Lorentttttthhho was a douche when he was in 250s. But he's been a completely different person in GP. He smiles, he cracks jokes, he is even keel and still rides like a banshee. [thumbsup] He's a young 'un. Mebbe he's just grown up a bit.

We almost had Vale, but there were scheduling conflicts with a Yamaha event and that took priority. What? One GP star isn't enough for ya?!?

The dudes are 22 and 23 years old! [laugh] They're keeeds. What do we want from them? Ya they're brilliant and making millions so we get to expect a lot.

Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: BikerGoddess on June 22, 2009, 08:09:37 AM His acrobatics are quite impressive. He seems to have kept the highsides to a minimum so far this season.

Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: Michael Moore on June 22, 2009, 10:17:23 AM He did seem to spend a good portion of that season inverted.
And now I know why Dainese put Ti shoulder sliders on their suits. Kewl.

Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: desmoquattro on June 30, 2009, 07:23:45 PM Came straight from the airport and just missed Lorenzo...but I did get to sample the pizza from the mobile wood-fired oven though [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: ducnymph on June 30, 2009, 08:17:17 PM I got a autograph and pic from him! He was sooooo nice! He has beautiful blue eyes and amazing skin! I was totally jazzed all day -woo hoo, tee hee hee ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: mostrobelle on June 30, 2009, 08:40:17 PM I only got wind of some of the coolness that happened earlier in the afternoon, but when it was all said and done I left the store with pizza in my belly and an autographed tail section for my FZR in my hand. [thumbsup] Great gig! I was so glad I went. [wine]
Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: Michael Moore on July 01, 2009, 05:24:54 AM So where are all these famous photos?
When I got there he ducked in the back room for a Red Bull or something. He must've known I had that Shanghai picture for him to sign. Rossi's bike on the store floor was very cool though. I'm sure it's like his C or D bike, but still badass. Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: desmoquattro on July 01, 2009, 06:03:37 AM So where are all these famous photos?

I'm sure it's like his C or D bike, but still badass. BG says it was a 2007 bike painted with 2008 livery and shod with Bridgestones. It's the same bike that Yamaha had at Miller for people to take photos on. They also had the coolest invention ever in the back: (http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v5207/87/15/589624223/n589624223_2992219_8063993.jpg) Yes, that's a wood-fired pompei oven...on a trailer. I'm tempted to rent that thing for GP. Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: Michael Moore on July 01, 2009, 06:24:55 AM BG told me you're taking too much crap already... ;D
Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: desmoquattro on July 01, 2009, 06:46:53 AM BG told me you're taking too much crap already... ;D See, she keeps saying that.

[bang] Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: BikerGoddess on July 01, 2009, 07:07:35 AM So where are all these famous photos? Check everyone's Facebook pages. When I got there he ducked in the back room for a Red Bull or something. He must've known I had that Shanghai picture for him to sign. Typical celebrity behavior. ;D He was in the back room watching GP races with his agent. I managed to sneak in there and have him sign a baseball cap for me. No pictures with the guy, but I'm not heartbroken. Still, he was very pleasant and gracious with the fans, posing for countless photos. On a side note, I found out he also speaks Italian. Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: desmoquattro on July 01, 2009, 07:17:53 AM Not a chance! I knew DQ would just wet himself when he saw that thing.

Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: Desmostro on July 01, 2009, 08:35:19 AM I can't claim to have been a big Lorenzo fan, but I went and met him just to see. He was quite gracious and down to earth I have to say. Quick with a hand shake.
Interesting notes: He said sharing a garage with V. Rossi is kind of a pregnant dog. He said Valentino is beyond competitive and doesn't take someone else so close on his heals in the same garage well. The little hand shakes you see after the races is pretty much all their exchanges. They do NOT hang out or talk at all, though their mechanics share info tech and settings etc. I'm always taken aback by those so clearly on top who find it necessary to shun everyone like that. It's a bit of an exaggeration I feel, though I wonder, is that what it takes to get 100 wins? End of the day, Lorenzo changing his tone and taking the time to hang with us a bit has done it's job. Not a bad guy. Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: Drunken Monkey on July 01, 2009, 09:24:23 AM (http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj19/DrunkenMonkey_bucket/4813_207839000083_871305083_7540922.jpg)
Nice guy, actually. I think I got bonus points for at least trying to talk to him Spanish ;D Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: enzo on July 01, 2009, 09:34:09 AM Imagine having to do those events over and over and over. While they're not difficult work, it must get irritating after a few years. Yes, he gets a fat paycheck, but it's cool when someone can put on a good face for the fans. I remember him being quite the brat when he was in 250's. I think he's matured a bit over the past couple of years.
Title: Re: Jorge Lorenzo signing @ D-Store 6/30 Post by: mostrobelle on July 01, 2009, 09:40:18 AM I looooved him in 250's.
