Political Ad/Centurion LeMans

These ads rarely get my attention, but you know you're a bike nerd when you can pick out the make and model of a vintage bike in a political ad.

Seems like this would ruin his credibility with the bike nerd demographic.

Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.

You know things are getting nasty when a kid on a vintage Centurion LeMans is "going negative!"

This!

Hard to tell what the advertiser was thinking...most people roll their eyes when a young buck like this starts spouting off facts and figures related to politics.

Nice catch, OP. I usually scan the background of commercials/shows/films for nice waves. What was the plot again?
