CLASSIC THUNDER (formerly)
ROLLING THUNDER
is now owned by William “Fuzzy”
Jamison well known for servicing new and vintage Harleys
by Robert
"the Great" Seymour
“FUZZY”, is a long time
friend of new and old Harleys, Indians and their riders. His
is one of the few shops that still services vintage Harleys,
performing restorations, upgrades, and hop-ups. As a former
employee, he recently acquired the shop and its facilities
which has all the tooling to handle Harley Davidson
motorcycles from 1912 to the present. He brings 23 years of
professional experience, a good portion in association with
Rolling Thunder founder, Ray Leffard.
Frugal living and the support of family and friends have
served to perpetuate his association with motorcycles longer
than many others. His remains one of the few shops still
working on vintage bikes. Find him currently operating on
Marine View Drive in Des Moines.
Although embracing work on new machinery, much of his
operation comes from referrals by dealers less inclined
toward servicing older machines. Some of these require
unusual and extraordinary repairs. His years dealing with
those problems have left him with surprising insights
lending to recovering otherwise expensive restorations, and
he is able to effectively communicate these to his vendors.
As a proud member of the
Cossacks for 17
years, he regularly helps to maintain the majority of their
half century old rides which are a main attraction in their
stunt performances. Contributing to keeping these relics
alive is a manifestation of his skills and is required as
the Cossacks are repeatedly sought by Harley Davidson for
official special events, including their 100th anniversary.
Other organizations seek them out as well to please
appreciating crowds who admire their well practiced riding
skills. |
