Sad news. Jeff Manley, South Bend Hooligan, and regular at Moser's on Thursday nights in New Carlisle is in the hospital. He fell approximately 30 feet from a lader, fracturing his scull, also breaking both his arms. He is in intensive care at Memorial Hospital, South Bend. It does not look good for our dear friend. According to the doctors he has no function in the left side of his brain. He has sufferred multiple strokes, and without devine intervention, will soon be in a vegatative state. They gave him a couple of days to live. I told him we all loved him, God speed Jeff Manley.

awww man. Godspeed brother.

I did not know him long or very well but he was always kind and friendly. He made sure to say hi every time I saw him. We seemed to cross paths just about every time I headed up to Grand Rapids. Nobody deserves this but you certainly have a hard time understanding why it happens to such a kind soul. This reminds me why you should live life to the fullest and remind those around you each day how much you love them.

I am going to ask a stupid question. I never ride not geared up and it is a funeral. Not having done this before I don't know how to dress, be protected and be respectful. What do you suggest? 

[drewladams]

Jeff requestrd tht he be buried in Bultaco t-shirt. We will be there, many dressed in ridening gear. no dress code. your being being there is all that is required.

I'm truly sadden by Jeff's passing. After my first conversation with him @ Jordan Powersports, I knew I had met a genuinely kind person. My thoughts are with him, and his family.
Though he is not here with us in the physical sense, his spirit will remain in the hearts of all that knew him. I would like to believe that he is now somewhere having the best ride he has ever had.
Godspeed Jeff
