Arnold Schwarzenegger is not the Terminator

A fat-lipped Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vowed Monday to keep riding motorcycles - despite a weekend accident that left the former Hollywood action hero with minor injuries.

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.

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.


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

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 minor cuts and bruises at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica and released. Both were wearing helmets. The other driver was uninjured. No citations were issued in the accident.

The real truth is, I myself, actually got into a fist fight with the governor at a bar this weekend… (yeah right). But it looks like Mr. Schwarzenegger isn’t as tough as everyone might expect him to be. Ha! Take that Mr. Governor! I’m kidding. I hope he gets well… article here.
