You know what happens; you get all juiced up and excited, and mouth before brain...

It won't happen again tonight!

The "C" word isn't as bad as the "M" words -- Masi & Moser.

Those will get you banned.

Motobecane is pushing the limit. It is still french, and very "Prol", so I am OK with Motobecane....

Whatever it takes to beat Merckx, right Moser? Even that ridiculous back wheel??? And you didn't get pushed through the mountains and during the final TT to beat Fignon, right? Again...whatever it takes.

Friggin cheater.

"Merckx" is not one of the words that we are not allowed to utter (or hear). Definitely not an "M" word.

Well, it could have been a De Rosa, but then maybe it was a Kessels or a 'nago, or heaven forbid, even a Falcon! Laughing
