EASYRIDERS INC. ANNOUNCES CHAPTER 11 FILING–Easyriders Inc. today announced that the public holding company, Easyriders Inc., and its principal operating subsidiary, Paisano Publications Inc. (collectively “Easyriders”) have 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.
The bankruptcy court filings were prompted by various repayment demands and other disputes that Easyriders was having with its primary secured lender, Nomura Holding America Inc. (“Nomura”).
Notwithstanding these disputes, the parties entered into a cash collateral stipulation prior to Easyriders’ bankruptcy filings, which will enable Easyriders to continue to operate in the ordinary course of business and pay all necessary operating expenses. Easyriders intends to seek emergency Bankruptcy Court approval of its cash collateral stipulation with Nomura.
Easyriders plans to emerge from their Chapter 11 cases with a comprehensive restructuring of all of their debt. With Nomura’s consent, Easyriders has engaged the Westlake Village-based investment banking firm of Murphy Noel Capital to provide financial advisory services to them and to assist them in connection with their debt restructuring.
Read recently the following in the business section of the L.A. Times about Clive Davis formerly of Arista Records–“People forget what this business is about. Raw talent. Great songs. Hip artists. All anybody seems to care about now is numbers. The fact is you can’t make numbers without creativity.”
I wish Easyriders continued luck and success for the staff and the shareholders who believed in the brand.–Bandit
Teamwork.
STURGIS ALERT–On some of the bulletin boards there is talk of groups of more than 4patch holders being pulled over in SD…some bullshit new law…FYI..later-

STURGIS BIKE RALLY NEWS– Wanted to know if you might be able to help me regarding the Sturgis Rally held in August. I want to rent out my cabin. It’s an historic log cabin on 4 acres outside of Deadwood in the Black Hills. It is about 20-25 minutes from Sturgis along Hwy. 385.
I have finally gotten the place fixed up and am rather late getting it rented out during the rally. It sleeps 4-8 comfortably, has a fully stocked kitchen, TV, stereo and is in a beautiful meadow that joins 104 acres of parkland. Deer and a small trout stream out front make this an idea location for privacy and relaxation.
Do you know of anyone who might be interested in renting it for the August 4-14th rally? There may also be 1-2 camper trailers available for rent on the property for larger groups.
— Thanks for your help.

ARTHRITIS–ArthritisAn old geezer in an old people’s home takes a fancy to a woman who is also staying there. One day he plucks up the courage to go and talk to her and after a while he says he would like to make love to her. She agrees thatwhen everybody else goes on a day trip they both stay behind at the homeandget down to it.
The old man goes to the woman’s room and asks her how she likes to be madelove to. She tells him that she loves a man to go down on her and asks himif he would mind. He says he would love to do that for her and goes for it.
After about 30 secs he comes back up and says that he is sorry but it justsmells too bad down there. She thinks for a minute and tells him that itmust be the arthritis. He looks at her confused and states that surely youcan’t get arthritis down there and even if you could it wouldn’t cause thatsmell.
She says “No it’s the arthritis in my shoulder, I can’t wipe my ass!”

Ride Hard……….. THE BLONDE One day a blonde decides that she is sick and tired of all these blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid, so she decides to show her husband that blondes really are smart. While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint a couple of rooms in the house. The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets down to the task at hand. Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and smells the distinctive smell of paint. He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat. He notices that she is wearing a ski jacket and a fur coat at the same time. He goes over and asks her if she is OK. She replies, “Yes, just really hot and tired”. He asks, “Well, what are you doing?” She replies that she wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb and she wanted to do it by painting the house. He then asked her, “Why the hell do you have a ski jacket on over a fur coat?” She replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and they said…. FOR BEST RESULTS PUT ON TWO COATS !!!!!

PUB GUY– A guy walked into a pub and immediately noticed a young lady at the bar on her own. After a couple of drinks he decided to offer her a drink and make small talk. She accepted. “What’s your name?” he asked her. “Carmen,” she replied. “That’s a nice name. Did your mother or father name you that?” “Neither. I changed my name when I was eighteen from Linda to Carmen.” “Why did you do that?” he asked. “Well,” she explained, “I like men and I like cars, so that is how I got my name. What’s your name?” “Beerpussy,” the man replied. Continued On Page 3
