Having met Jorge at D-store last year, I have to say he was  down to earth and genuinely engaging.
Even shared a little dig about Rossi, which I thought was pretty funny.

I remember back to the awesome high-sides of his first year and the hilarious comments forum posters made - good times!
IMO, he owned 2010, and the WC is much deserved.
We have all seen his ego and post race theatrics take a turn towards ass-like, but it makes for good TV.

So...will he keep his lucky #99 or take ownership of the #1 emblazened on his Telefonica/Movistar Yam?
(I forget who is taking over for FIAT)

it really cracks me up when people say this... it's like they didn't watch him in 250s at all.

You think I don't like him because he rode well this year?  ;D

I think he'll leave the plate empty, that way he won't have to repaint it in 12.  :D

He's already said he'll run the #1 if they can come up with a good scheme for it.  Otherwise he'll just keep #99.

His 99 is not exactly flashy

The sponsors would probably appreciate it if he ran the #1 plate.

He'll run #1.  I'd bet your life on it. 
Occasionally AFM #702  My stuff:  The M1000SS, a mashed r6, Vino 125, the Blonde, some rugrats, yuppie cage, child molester van, bourbon.

no kiddin'.

any/everything he's done in motogp is extremely tame by comparison.  

and i bet he'll run #1 also.  99 was fan-decided in the first place.. it's not like it's 'his' number.
Like this is the racing, no?

I'm convinced he'll emulate Rossi and go with 99.

I swear, if Rossi covered himself in chicken feathers (with some ludicrous claim that it made him faster) the other riders would follow.
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

Are you mad because the casual riders can outbrake you now?  Ever since I started throwing my leg out, I've decreased my braking distances into corners by a good 10-15 feet.  Don't knock it bro.


You know I'm just kidding.

If one leg out helps with braking, how much better would braking be if you threw both legs out?  Maybe even a hand?    ;D

I like to hop off the side of the bike and slide both feet to aid in braking, mission impossible style.
