Governator wrecks his bike

I'm a motorcycle racer in the summer. Amature tracks in the WERA circuit. I NEVER ride on the street and this is a little taste of why....

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Recalling his days as one of Hollywood's most popular action stars, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Monday that a weekend accident won't stop him from riding motorcycles.

As an actor, he said, he had to sign contracts covering possible injuries from stunts.

"I did all those things anyway," Schwarzenegger said. "I never played by the rules."

The governor received 15 stitches in his lip after he and his 12-year-old son Patrick were involved in the accident Sunday near their Los Angeles home, spokeswoman Margita Thompson said. His son was uninjured.

"I was very lucky," Schwarzenegger said during an appearance Monday at a health center for women and children in North Hollywood. "It could have been very different."

The left side of the governor's upper lip was swelled and puffy but didn't affect his speech or appear to cause much pain.

He said doctors had advised him to avoid attending events and speaking for at least three days.

"My wife said make it seven," Schwarzenegger joked.

The governor was riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with his son in a sidecar when another driver backed into the street, Thompson said. Schwarzenegger collided with the car at low speed.

He and his son were treated for cuts and bruises at a hospital in Santa Monica and released. Both were wearing helmets.

The other driver was uninjured. No citations were issued in the accident, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman.

In December 2001, Schwarzenegger broke six ribs and was hospitalized for four days after a motorcycle crash in Los Angeles.

The accident occurred when a car stopped in front of him and he was unable to change lanes to avoid the vehicle. His ribs were broken when his chest hit the motorcycle windshield.
