Schwarzenegger Leather boy Arnie! takes his bike for a spin in black chaps and a brown biker jacket

Following his split from wife Maria Shriver earlier this year, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been spending more and more been indulging in his boys toys.
And it was no different yesterday, as the 64-year-old took his fire-engine red, 1940 Indian Chief Model 1200 cc motorcycle for a leisurely spin.
Like a scene from Easy Rider, the actor was seen cruising on the vehicle in head-to-toe leather, alongside his bodyguards.

Schwarzenegger is a bachelor since splitting with Shriver.
The couple announced that they were parting ways earlier this year, after it emerged Schwarzenegger had fathered a love child with housekeeper, Mildred Baena, 50.

Ms Baena was believed to be a close friend of the family, whose son would play with Shriver and Schwarzenegger's children not knowing who his real father was.
And the Terminator star only came clean about the sordid affair after Shriver told him she knew the truth about his 13-year secret.
Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger has recently been filming the movie Expendables 2 in Bulgaria.

The film is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Sylvester Stallone's 2010 action adventure.
It boasts a star-studded ensemble cast that includes Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Liam Hemsworth, Jet Li, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
The movie set recently was marred with tragedy.
A stuntman died last week following an explosion while filming on the Bulgarian set.

Two other stunt people, thought to be Chinese, were injured when the film's second unit stunt team filmed a scene for the sequel in a boat on the reservoir Ognyanovo, near the capital city of Sofia.
None of the film's stars, Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Willis, were present at the site of the incident.
'It is with great regret that we confirm this unfortunate accident,' Nu Image/Millennium Films, the production company behind The Expendables 2, said in a statement to U.S. website Deadline.

'Our hearts go out to the families and those on the production affected by this tragedy. The filmmakers are working closely with the authorities in responding to and investigating this accident.'
The film's star and producer Stallone and director Simon West are thought to have been filming elsewhere, in the mountain resort village of Bansko at the time.
Of the two other men who were caught in the explosion, one was reported to be in critical condition but is now said to be stable and on 'command breathing'.

No word yet as to how the scene went awry and no names have been released at this point.
Local police have launched an investigation into the incident.

Schwarzenegger, Shriver separating after 25 years

 
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It was a storybook marriage in 1986 on a spring weekend on Cape Cod that united a princess of an American political dynasty, Maria Shriver, and the gap-toothed muscle-clad movie star famous enough to be known by one name, Arnold.
In many ways, it was a pairing of opposites: Her uncle was a U.S. president; his father was an Austrian policeman. She was the rising star of a network TV news show; he was the pot-puffing star of "Pumping Iron." He was a Republican with a soft spot for Richard Nixon; her family was a pillar in the nation's Democratic establishment.
Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Shriver announced their separation late Monday, cleaving a sometimes-turbulent 25-year relationship after "a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us," the couple said in a joint statement.
The breakup comes about four months after Schwarzenegger ended a bumpy, two-term run as California governor, a job his wife never wanted him to pursue. Since then, Schwarzenegger, 63, has been fashioning a role as an international advocate for green energy, giving speeches and lining up work in Hollywood. Shriver, 55, has guested-edited an edition of Oprah Winfrey's magazine but also talked about the stress of changing roles after serving as California's first lady.
The joint statement, issued by a spokesman for Schwarzenegger, said the two were working on the future of their relationship while living apart and they would continue to parent their four children together.
"After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion, and prayer, we came to this decision together," the statement said.
It was not clear from the statement if either remained at their gated, canyon estate in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood, or whom the children were with. Schwarzenegger's spokesman, Daniel Ketchell, said he wouldn't answer questions beyond what was said in Monday's statement.
The former governor tweeted frequently during his recent travels to Brazil, Nigeria and France, but Shriver was not mentioned in his online updates from the road. Shriver, also active on social networks, posted three updates on her Twitter page on the day of their 25th wedding anniversary, April 26, but did not mention the milestone.
About a month before the anniversary, Shriver wrote on her Facebook page that she was going through a transition in her life.
"As you know, transitions are not easy. I'd love to get your advice on how you've handled transitions in your own life," she said in a video posted on YouTube.
"It's so stressful to not know what you're doing next. People ask you what are you doing and then they can't believe that you don't know what you're doing," she said.
Schwarzenegger has often said that Shriver, who is keenly attuned to the risks of a life in politics, initially was very upset about his plan to run for governor. But when Schwarzenegger announced his decision on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in August 2003, he said his wife stood by his decision.
During Schwarzenegger's time in office, Shriver and the couple's children never moved to Sacramento, preferring their secluded estate a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. Schwarzenegger never settled in Sacramento, choosing instead to commute by private jet between his home and the state capitol.
Schwarzenegger and Shriver long presented a gilded partnership that crossed politics, Hollywood and media. They are known for charitable work, and he also founded a committee with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell to encourage road, bridge and other infrastructure development.
