Subject: [CR]Suffering From Masi-itis

I haven't even been a list member for a year yet - don't even own a Masi - but all this talk is really taking a toll on me.

My apologies in advance to any of Dean Martin's surviving family members, and to any list members who are prone to take things seriously.

"That's a Masi" (roughly to the tune of "That's Amore")

When some steel flashes by, And it catches my eye, That&#8217;s a Masi. When the paint is quite thin, But the ride makes me grin, That&#8217;s a Masi.

The champ&#8217;s tube reads &#8220;Peugeot&#8221;, But I know it&#8217;s not so, It&#8217;s a Masi. Whether Simpson or Merckx, Top pro&#8217;s all had their quirks, They rode Masi.

If they won a big race, I can see on their face, It&#8217;s a Masi. Let&#8217;s go back through the books, We&#8217;ll all take second looks, For a Masi.

See the boss on that tube, Do you think I&#8217;m a Rube? That&#8217;s a Masi. I can sound rather smug, When I say &#8220;Check the lug. That&#8217;s a Masi&#8221;.

Koppi rolls into Brest, On a frame that&#8217;s celeste, I say &#8220;Masi&#8221;. Raas wins on his Team Pro, But I say it&#8217;s not so &#8211; It&#8217;s a Masi.

Ignore those curly stays, See that bright orange blaze, That&#8217;s a Masi. That Colnago&#8217;s a fake, Just compare the fork rake, That&#8217;s a Masi.

Greg LeMond gave a thrill, His Gitane was a shill, It&#8217;s a Masi. And when Lance took the stand, My response sounded canned, &#8220;See? A Masi&#8221;.

When man went to the moon, I went into in a swoon, For their Masi. Will Schumaker be next? His car just a pretext? &#8220;No it&#8217;s Masi&#8221;.

It is so out of hand, There is no other brand, Only Masi. Orange, red, black or blue, My heart&#8217;s steadfastly true, To my Masi.

But I think I need help, So the next time I yelp, About Masi. Go ahead, be a pain, Verify that I&#8217;m sane, &#8230;I&#8217;ll say &#8220;grazie&#8221;.

Hope you all kept out of trouble on Mother's Day.
