USA: California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger admits he does not own a motorcycle license after a minor accident sends him to the hospital

Action-hero-turn-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger has a new item on his to-do list: get a motorcycle license! California's governor doesn't have one - a fact that came to light after he was in motorcycle accident on Sunday (January 8). He does have a license to ride with a sidecar but he doesn't have the paperwork to ride without a sidecar - which he's been doing for years. Schwarzenegger says it was just one of those things he didn't think about. "I just never really got one. Never thought about it. You know, I had one like I said when I was back in the military," Schwarzenegger told reporters. Schwarzenegger was in a minor motorcycle accident, forcing him to get 15 stitches in his upper lip. The governor's spokeswoman says a car backed into a Los Angeles street where Schwarzenegger was riding his Harley Davidson. The governor hit the vehicle, but was going slow. His 12-year old son, Patrick, was in the bike's sidecar. Both were wearing helmets. His son was also treated for minor cuts and bruises.
