The article said he was wearing a "non-DOT approved helmet".. one of those worthless beanies. But they look so cool!  Regardless, I hope he lives to buy a real lid. | |

| Licensed  Joined: Jan 2007 From: Benton City, WA I Ride: on the back :( | Richard Shumate... oh my goodness... He is such a kindhearted person with a great sense of humor! He has suffered some broken bones, but he is in stable condition. He was out on a benefit ride and encountered gravel at the shoulder of the on-ramp (he went over a little too far on the road itself) and went down. Just to clarify things- there were no other factors involved. Prayers to you, Richard, for a speedy recovery! -The Einan family |

Always hard to hear of ANYONE losing control of a motorcycle, especially if the road conditions were a major factor. 'Wheels off the road' is a LAME excuse, as well as 'too fast for conditions,' when it only takes sand, gravel, paint, or ice to make a bike loose traction !!!  Hope Mr. Shumate has a speedy recovery! Been there, done that. |

| Permit Joined: Oct 2008 From: Molschbach, Germany | Don't mean to highjack the thread. I just don't get on here much as I live in Germany these days. I used to work for Mr. Shumate at the Walla Walla store. Anyone hear how the Shumate's are doing? And Oscar Sheets as well.
