tommy, how many dollars would it take to convince you to take a dump on the street at venice beach. then stick a paper umbrella on drink straw in the mass of poo.

I'll be there. Arnold turned up on his bike for literally two mins around 10am this morning. He had a single security guy with him, nobody even noticed him.
Victor Martinez arrived about 30 mins ago.
Park at Golds

nobody noticed arnold?

I don't know if I buy that. Seems VERY odd.

Highly unlikely…. Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler and the last 15 US presidents prior to Regan could show up and the only person who would be both noticeable and recognizable would be Arnold.
-
He was on his bike where the stands are, very briefly. I think only one person took his photo. It seemed didnt want to get noticed and it worked. Just telling you as it happened

ESPECIALLY at an event like that.

So, you're saying you and the person who took the photo were the ONLY people to take notice?
Sorry. I would've bought your story if you said Arnold came by, but quickly left when it was shown he was gonna get mobbed. Not your story of "nobody noticed". ::)

Thats nothing, remember it's Venice, people do that for entertainment!

There are a few paparazzi photos of the governor riding his bike around town, so I don't doubt the story.
-
That he showed up in low key fashion is entirely believable.

I don't doubt that he was on his bike either, knucklehead.
What I DO doubt is that amongst a crowd of bodybuilding fans/spectators at this big event, Arnold strolled in for a few minutes and, as Mr. Gethin said, "nobody noticed". ::)

I'll second that. I tried to go to venice today...impossible unless you want to walk 10 miles or pay $50 for parking.

Actually he would know as well as anyone that coming in at 10 AM with relatively few there, inconspicuous on a bike including a helmet that hid his identity would make that very, very easy.
-
10 mile walk! :D

I have seen numerous pictures of Arnold on a bike, and have never seen him wear a helmet. At most - sunglasses. As iconic and recognizable Arnold is, I just find it hard to believe that "nobody noticed".
Now, if he DID in fact wear a bicyle helmet and sunglasses, then yeah, maybe I'll buy that nobody noticed.
-
Anybody that wears a helmet on their bike is a puss.

Obviously those were staged pics; a governor would have to wear one as an example aside from the fact he's had a few accidents that would justify it. Let alone the fact it's probably demanded of any rider and the fact he could choose to wear one just to be incognito.
All of which make your assumptions that he couldn't have been there unnoticed absurd.

Oh I get it, so everyone can see your snarl and tattoos as you blaze by on your insecurity cycle.
-

There is a helmet law in California.

Idiot.
BTW why would anyone make up a story about seeing Arnold? To call that fake is ridiculus.

Look, I don't doubt that Arnold may have worn a helmet and sunglasses to be incognito - I get that. What I am saying is that if he DIDN'T wear any helmet or sunglasses, I find it hard to believe that nobody noticed.

As well as a motorcycle license law to ride a motorcycle, which Arnold didn't have for a few years, yet continued to ride his motorcycle anyway. So you tell me...

Stop thinking about this, you're going in circles.

Nothing to think about. These are facts. :)

Helmet laws....
Everyone should be entitled on how their going to scoop up their brains off the asphalt.
Personally myself, I go way to fast & wouldn't be able to see decently w/o one.
Harley's are a different story....for the most part....guys usually go slow enough to see fine. A 15mph accident will be no different than doing 60-70mph.
When it's your time...it's your time.

Arnold was there. Strangely, I think was the 1st person to see him. He stopped literally 5 feet away from me. I was in the very back standing section, next to the booths and displays. I walked two steps, put out my hand and said, "Hi Schwarenegger, I'm Pheil (my last name). He shook my hand and smiled. I then said, "Thinking of competing?" He smiled. I then stepped away.
I saw only one bodyguard, also riding a beach cruiser. He was wearing an ear piece & fanny pack in the front.
Arnold was there a total of 90 seconds. Arnold was wearing long shorts, a big loose shirt, sunglasses and no helmet.
He may have remembered me from Shatzi, Gold's and perhaps as "Don Ross' friend."
Absolutely true.

Just to clarify, none of your backpeddles gets us away from the fact that you were completely wrong in your speculation and then went after him like a rabid dog.
Think first in future, before reacting.

Of course; he lives not far away and rides regularly, knew that especially at that time and place he could stop in quickly and leave without it being a big deal.
For such a short time mabye no helmet needed but for riding he had to have one, wherever it was.

I'm not backpeddling, I'm standing my ground. :)
And if I was going after him like a "rabid dog", as you put it, I would be saying absurd lies about the man.
I've stated he doesn't wear a bicycle helmet - fact.
I've stated he rode a motorcycle and got busted without a license - fact.
And I've stated that nobody noticing him seemed far fetched - speculation. OK, you got me there. ::)

Bottom line all that blather and attacking for nothing.
He was there.
So was Franco, apparently blowing up a hot water bottle.
