Item 5.   Other Events.
          ------------

     On April 16, 2002, Easyriders, Inc. ("Easyriders" or the "Company")
received a letter from the American Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") indicating
that the Exchange had decided to proceed with the filing of an application with
the Securities and Exchange Commission to strike the Company's common stock from
listing and registration on the Exchange. A copy of such "de-listing" notice is
attached as an exhibit hereto. The Company does not intend to appeal such
decision.


Item 6.   Resignation of Directors.
          ------------------------

     On April 19, 2002, Joseph Teresi resigned as a director and Chairman of the
Board. Mr. Teresi is currently the prospective buyer of substantially all of the
Company's assets pursuant to the previously reported agreement entered into as
of April 3, 2002 between Mr. Teresi, Easyriders, Paisano Publications Inc. and
Nomura Holding America, Inc. (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). The closing of
such transaction is, subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court, scheduled for
May 2, 2002. A hearing to seek Bankruptcy Court approval of the Asset Purchase
Agreement is scheduled for May 1, 2002. Another prospective buyer, Vintage
Capital Group LLC ("Vintage") has expressed interest in purchasing the assets of
the Company and its principal subsidiary, Paisano Publications, Inc., but to
date no agreement has been entered into concerning a bid by Vintage. In view of
his status as a prospective buyer, and considering the possibility of
competitive bids, Mr. Teresi believed his independence as a board member would
be compromised, and to avoid such conflicts of interest the Board implemented an
Asset Sale Protocol which precluded Mr. Teresi from having a decision-making
role in the sale process. Mr. Teresi nevertheless believed that the interests of
the Company would be best served by his resignation.

     Subsequently on April 19, 2002, the remaining members of the board of
directors, comprised of Messrs. John Corrigan, Stewart Gordon and Joseph Jacobs,
elected J. Robert Fabregas, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, to serve as a
director and Chairman of the Board, as is permitted by the company's bylaws.

     Mr. Teresi did not resign because of a disagreement with the company on any
matter relating to the company's operations, policies, or practices.

     Concurrently, Mr. Teresi resigned as Chairman and CEO of Paisano
Publications, Inc., retaining his position as Publisher under an existing
employment agreement, and was replaced in these capacities by Mr. Fabregas.

VIA FACSIMILE AND AIRBORNE EXPRESS
----------------------------------

April 16, 2002

Mr. J. Robert Fabregas
Chief Executive Officer
Easyriders, Inc.
28210 Dorothy Drive
Agoura Hills, CA 91301

Dear Mr. Fabregas:

This will confirm our intention to proceed with the filing of an application
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to strike Easyriders,
Inc.'s ("the Company") Common Stock from listing and registration on the
American Stock Exchange (the "Exchange").  This decision was reached following
careful review of the Company's continued listing eligibility.

The Exchange has adopted certain guidelines and procedures that assist in this
process and these are set forth in Part 10 of our Company Guide.  The
guidelines, which are most relevant in this situation, are found in Sections
1002 and 1003.

Specifically, the Company stated in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2001 that it had a net loss of $17,094,867 on revenues of
$28,264,933, at which time the Company had a shareholder's deficit of
$28,429,602.  Consequently, the Company has fallen below Section 1003(a)(i) with
a stockholders' equity of less than $2,000,000 and has sustained losses from
continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal
years; Section 1003(a)(ii), resulting from a stockholders' equity of less than
$4,000,000 million and sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net
losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years; and Section 1003(a)(iii)
having sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five
most recent fiscal years.

Moreover, on July 17, 2001, Easyriders, Inc., and it principal operating
subsidiary, Paisano Publications, Inc., filed voluntary petitions for relief
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, San Fernando Valley
Division. To date, the Company continues to operate under Chapter 11, and no
final judgment has been reached.  The Company has expressed its intent to enter
into a plan of liquidation if approved by the Court.

Finally, in it's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 the
Company's auditors, Stonefield Josephson, Inc., state that there exists
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern due
to the above referenced bankruptcy filing and ongoing losses.

In view of the foregoing, it appears that the Company's operating results are
unsatisfactory and its financial condition may be impaired, raising questions
about whether it will be able to continue operations or meet its obligations as
they mature. (Section 1003(a)(iv))

                                    ******

Section 1010(b) of the Company Guide requires that the Company, as promptly as
possible and not later than April 23, 2002, make a public announcement through
the news media which discloses receipt of this letter and the Amex guidelines
upon which it is based./1/ The Company must provide a copy of this disclosure to
both the Amex Stock Watch and Listing Qualifications Departments at least 10
minutes prior to its public dissemination./2/ For your convenience, we have
enclosed a list of news services that the Company may use in connection with
this disclosure.

Please be advised that Section 1010(b) does not relieve the Company of its
obligations to assess the materiality of the Staff Determination as it relates
to the federal securities laws.  This rule also does not provide a safe harbor
under the federal securities laws.  Accordingly, the Company should consult with
securities counsel regarding its disclosure and other obligations mandated by
law./3/

In accordance with Section 1010 of the Amex Company Guide, the Company has the
                                            -------------
right to appeal this determination by notifying the Exchange in writing and
submitting the required hearing fee of $2,500 within five business days of
receipt of this letter./4/  Please note that the
_____________

/1/  Should the Company subsequently fail to comply with other continued listing
guidelines, and receive notice of such deficiency, then it must also make the
disclosure required by Section 1010(b) with respect to such additional
deficiency, even if the Company has already exercised its right to appeal
Staff's determination.
/2/  This notice should be provided to the attention of Jay Bono in the Amex
Stock Watch Department (telephone: 212-306-8383; facsimile: 212-306-1488), and
to the Amex Listing Qualifications Department (telephone: 212-306-1331;
facsimile: 212-306-2394).
/3/  While the Amex does not endorse any particular format or provide a sample
press release related to this disclosure, you may wish to consider language that
discloses that: on (DATE OF RECEIPT OF STAFF DETERMINATION) the Company received
notice from Amex Staff indicating that the Company no longer complies with
Exchange's continued listing guidelines due to (LOSSES IN TWO OF ITS MOST RECENT
FISCAL YEARS WITH EQUITY BELOW $2 MILLION, ETC.), as set forth in Section
1003(____) of the Company Guide, and that its securities are, therefore, subject
to being delisted from the Exchange.  The Company has appealed this
determination and requested a hearing before a committee of the Exchange.  There
can be no assurance Company's request for continued listing will be granted. The
Company may also wish to consider including in its public disclosure whether its
securities may be eligible to trade on another marketplace.
/4/  Section 1010 of the Amex Company Guide was recently amended to provide for
                              -------------
the imposition of hearing fees on issuers in connection with issuer requests for
review of Exchange delisting decisions (Securities and Exchange Commission
Release No. 34-44768; File No. SR-Amex-2001-36).

please contact Ms. Crowley.

decision will become final and an application will be filed with the SEC to
remove the Company's common stock from listing and registration.  Please call me
