California's governor is sporting a fat lip and stitches after an accident while riding his motorcycle -- illegally.

You see, our Harley-riding, movie-star governor doesn't have a California motorcycle license and never has!

Some will argue this is no big deal. After all, California's highways are filled with unlicensed drivers, illegal aliens and uninsured motorists. So what's the difference if the governor drives without a license? After all, he's only the state's top elected official.

The man whose name appears on the cover of the California Drivers Handbook we picked up at the DMV. The same fellow whose picture and signature appears inside under his personal message urging Californians to drive responsibly.

Ironically, this is the same guy who vetoed a bill that would have given illegal aliens an opportunity to drive legally by getting a California drivers license. But we understand, you know better governor. Let's face it, you've got decades of experience illegally riding your Harley.

Governor, you owe Californians an apology -- not some lame "girlie-man" excuse that you just never thought about getting a motorcycle license. 23ABC urges everyone in Kern County e-mail the governor and demand an apology. Follow this link to get there: www.govmail.ca.gov
