Zanesville’s Native Makes History

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Zanesville’s very own Lonnie Warne, was in town Saturday, September 15th to help support the Block Party on Third.

His bikes were on display at the event, including the well known Penny Pincher. Warne has become a triple title winner for his custom motorcycles.

“Four years ago they told us they said when we put the name in front of the bike that said “Lonnie Warne Zanesville, Ohio”. They said that’s where they let the animals loose at, so now four years went by and we won the championship they say thems the guys that build those bad bikes, now it ain’t about the animals, so we’re proud to bring that back to Zanesville, Ohio,” Warne said.

Warne made it on the cover of three Easyrider Rodeo Magazines and he said he is just proud to bring it all back to Zanesville. He never imagined he would be here 5 years ago and his partner in crime Bill Sikora helped him all along the way and with all of the work on his motorcycles.

“It’s awesome. I mean we love it. It just makes me feel good that I can do it for Zanesville because when we travel there’s a lot of bad things said about Zanesville so it makes us proud to come back home and to be able to do this right here,” Warne said.
