Telecom ad bike challenge?

[skaz]

A bit of a bike nerd challenge for everyone...

In the background of the telecom ad with the old dude talking about internet security, just to the left of him there is a bike, what is it?

Not sure, but here's what Wikipedia has to say about the feller.

Peter Oakley (born 20 August 1927) is a pensioner from Leicester, England. He is better known by his pseudonym geriatric1927 on the popular video sharing website YouTube.^[1]
Making his YouTube debut in August, 2006 with a series of five-to-ten minute autobiographical videos entitled Telling it all, his posts gained immediate popularity with a wide section of the YouTube community, a leading member of the much-heralded Web 2.0 generation of web sites.^[2]
Amongst the autobiographical details revealed in his videos are the fact that he served as a radar mechanic during World War II, has had a lifelong love of motorcycles, and that he currently lives alone as a widower and pensioner in England.
His unforeseen rise has been widely reported by international media outlets and online news sources and blogs, gaining YouTube much publicity along the way.^[3] After resisting all media attention for a long time (including requests for interviews, photographs, and attempts to identify him), insisting that he only wished to converse with the YouTube community in an informal and personal way, Oakley finally gave his first interview for the BBC's The Money Programme which was aired on BBC Two on 16 February 2007.
By mid-2006, geriatric1927 was the most subscribed user on YouTube. His rise to the #1 position took place in just over a week. It is noteworthy that in the process he displaced users who had been around since the site's launch over a year prior, including NBC-signed Brooke Brodack.
Oakley had 30,000 subscribers as of November 25, 2006, and over 47,000 subscribers as of April 19, 2008. He is currently ranked 48th most subscribed and he is the 26th most subscribed director on YouTube. As of April 19, 2008, Oakley has over 120 videos on YouTube under the pseudonym geriatric1927.

You have waaaaaaaaaay to much time on your hands mate.

Why werent you out for a ride. Took a spin over the Rimutakas for the first time today.

Because I had to clean out both the gargre and my man-cave today.

And when I wheeled out the motorcycle out of the gargre I noticed one of the rear caliper bolts had come off and the caliper was hanging on its remaining mount.

And it had munted the brake pads.

So I chose to split the caliper and rebuild it, seeing as how I had some spare pads to put in there.

Luckily Supercheap have finally started stocking High Tensile Flange Bolts, so I got a spare pack (had to drive the car boo), and commenced the rebuild.

Turned out the replacement pads had a square slide hole for the pins instead of round so I had to jury-rig a setup where I could use the old pads as a template to drill out the proper sized locating holes in the new pads.

Then clean the holes up on the bench grinder, lube the pistons, grease up the slide pins with LM2 grease (cheers Frosty for that tip) and finally change the (at least) four year old rear caliper brake fluid, and bleed.

I still got a ride. It was just along the river on the mountain bike from Silverstream to Moonshine Bridge, over the bridge and back down the river road side of the bridge. On the pushbikes because that's all the kids have to ride - no motorbikes yet.

Oh - and did I mention - I also rebuilt my PC today too, while also looking after the kids.

Too much time - pah!
