Jammer Joint Motorcycles Comes Home to Wentzville

Jammer Joint Motorcycles, a motorcycle repair and customizing shop that started out in Wentzville in 1970, is back in business along West Pearce Boulevard. And one of its showroom bikes is generating lots of buzz.

For Jammer Joint Motorcycles and Leon Rogers, it's a story about coming home.

Rogers was one of the owners of the motorcycle shop when the business originally opened in Wentzville in 1970.

The shop closed down in 1981. In 2006, Rogers decided to bring the business back, but the location on West Pearce in Wentzville wasn't big enough to expand the business and it moved to Wright City.

Jammer Joint came home to Wentzville this year, opening in March on West Pearce Boulevard. The shop does motorcycle repairs, rebuilds and customization.

Mike Czerniewski, who joined the team when the business was still in Wright City, said the shop gives motorcycle enthusiasts in Wentzville—and St. Charles County—a unique experience.

Czerniewski pointed to a picture in the shop of one of the original owners, Edgar Moorman, with an orange 1976 Harley Davidson. When Moorman died, his family kept the motorcycle in the family and it is now on display at the shop.

One of what Czerniewski called "the wave of the future," a Harley custom touring bike, is on display in front of the shop. The large 26-inch front wheel has given it the nickname of "Big Wheel."

Patch asked if the large size of the wheel served a purpose, and Czerniewski said it was just for the unusual look.

"It brings in a lot of traffic," Czerniewski said.
