Attention:    John Martin

Gentlemen:

This letter sets forth my proposal for resolution of the issues raised in my
letter to the Board of Directors dated February 16, 2000.

1.     Recitals.  This proposal is based on the following material facts:
       --------

       1.1  Easyriders, Inc. ("Easyriders" or the "Company") is presently
obligated to me (hereinafter, "JT") under three (3) promissory notes.  These
notes (collectively, the "Contributor Notes"), and the amounts due April 1, 2000
for delinquent interest, are itemized as follows:

Total Delinquent Interest                                                              $1,275,048
</TABLE>


       1.2  JT is the owner of commercial property known as 28210-28216 Dorothy
Drive (the "Premises"). The Premises are occupied by the Company and its
subsidiary, Paisano Publications, Inc. ("Paisano") pursuant to two leases
executed by Paisano as Tenant, and JT as Landlord (the "HQ Leases"). Past due
rent under the HQ Leases as of April 1, 2000 amounts to $273,862 (the "HQ Past
Due Rent"). Paisano also owes JT the sum of $10,815 as the last installment of
rent due pursuant to the lease between Paisano and JT for the Easyriders of
Daytona Store, the assets of which have been sold to an unrelated third party.
Paisano has been relieved of all liability under this lease, except for payment
of this delinquent sum (the "Daytona Past Due Rent"). For purposes of this
proposal, the HQ Past Due Rent and the Daytona Past Due Rent, which amount to
$284,677 in the aggregate, are collectively referred to as the "Past Due Rent."

       1.3  As of April 1, 2000 the Company and/or Paisano owes JT the sum of
$130,402 as reimbursement for legal fees incurred by JT in connection with
matters pertaining to the Company and/or Paisano.
<PAGE>

       1.4  Exhibit A, attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof,
sets forth the terms of a proposed acquisition by JT of the assets of Easyriders
of Columbus, Inc., a subsidiary of Easyriders, and owner of the retail store
known as Easyriders of Columbus (the "Columbus Transaction").

       1.5  Exhibit B, attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof,
sets forth the terms of a proposed Licensing and Inventory Credit Agreement
concerning the business of Paisano known as "Events" (the "Events Transaction").

       1.6  The Company's subsidiary, M&B Restaurants, L.C. dba El Paso Bar-B-
Que Company ("El Paso") is presently in the process of attempting to sell its
restaurant in Glendale, Arizona (the "Glendale Store").

       1.7  In connection with the Paisano Acquisition, JT entered into a
contract with Paisano (the "Consulting Agreement"), pursuant to which JT agreed
to provide certain consulting services to Paisano in addition to the services
required to be performed by JT under his employment agreement with Paisano.  The
Consulting Agreement is for an indefinite term, in the discretion of the Board
of Directors.  Effective June 1, 1999 JT assigned his obligations and rights
under the Consulting Agreement to Teresi Publications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("TPI"). In exchange for the services performed under the Consulting
Agreement, JT (or his assignee) became entitled to receive monthly payments of
$5,000 per month for October, November and December, 1998, $7,500 for January,
1999, increasing by $2,500 per month for each month thereafter through July,
1999, and $25,000 per month commencing August, 1999 and thereafter for so long
as the Consulting Agreement is in effect.  All required payments through May,
1999, in the aggregate sum of $97,500 were timely paid.  None of the payments
required to be made, i.e. $22,500 in July, 1999, and $25,000 per month
thereafter, have been made, as a consequence of which Paisano as of April 1,
2000 owes TPI the aggregate sum of $247,500.

2.  Specific Proposals.  JT hereby proposes the following:
    ------------------

       2.1    Short Term Subordinated Note.
              ----------------------------

              (a) It is agreed that the maturity date of the Short Term
       Subordinated Note shall be changed from March 31, 2000 to March 31, 2002.

              (b) It is agreed that Easyriders shall have no obligation to pay
       interest on the Short Term Subordinated Note through and until March 31,
       2001, at which time all interest then accrued but unpaid shall become due
       and payable.

       2.2  Non-Interest Payables.
            ---------------------

            (a) The total due to JT (and/or TPI) for Past Due Rents,
       reimbursement of expenses as described in section 1.3, and consulting
       fees as described in section 1.7 (collectively, "Non-Interest Payables")
       amounts to $662,579.

            (b) The Columbus Transaction is approved, as a consequence of which
       it is hereby agreed that in exchange for conveyance to JT of the assets
       described therein, the total due for Non-Interest Payables shall be
       reduced by the sum of $565,840, to $96,739.00, provided that such
       calculations are subject to change prior to closing of the Columbus
       Transaction, and shall be accounted for by the adjustment provided for in
       paragraph 2.3 (f), below.

                                       2
<PAGE>

       2.3  Payments, Credits and Exchange of Debt and Interest for Common
            --------------------------------------------------------------
            Stock.
            -----

            (a) By no later than December 31, 2000, the Company shall cause JT
       to be paid the sum of $750,000 in cash, provided that from the gross
       proceeds realized from sale of the Glendale Store, if any, JT shall be
       paid the sum of not less than $600,000. If such payment of $600,000 is
       made, the total sum due by December 31, 2000 shall be reduced to
       $150,000.

            (b) The Events Transaction is hereby approved, as a consequence of
       which the Company shall receive a credit of $750,000 to be applied as
       provided below.

            (c) After applying the offset to Non-Interest Payables for Columbus
       as provided for in paragraph 2.2 (b), it is acknowledged that the total
       due for principal on the Subordinated Note, delinquent interest under the
       Contributor Notes, and the remaining Non-Interest Payables amounts to the
       sum of $4,946,787 (the "Pre-Credit Total").

            (d) The Pre-Credit Total shall be reduced by (i) the payments made
       pursuant to paragraph 2.3 (a), upon payment, and (ii) application of the
       credit provided for in paragraph 2.3 (b) upon the closing of the Events
       Transaction.

            (e) The Pre-Credit Total shall be reduced further by the sum of
       $3,446,787 upon issuance to JT of a total of 3,356,170 shares of the
       Company's common stock. It is acknowledged that such number of shares was
       based upon the average closing price of the Company's common stock as
       reported on the American Stock Exchange for the 30 trading days prior to
       and ending on March 22, 2000, the date of the company's last meeting of
       the Board of Directors.

            (f) At the closing of the Columbus Transaction, the exact value of
       the inventory purchased shall be fixed (the "Transfer Balance"). If the
       Transfer Balance is greater than the sum of $565,840, then the excess
       amount shall be credited to Company, which shall have the right to off-
       set such figure against any future obligation owing to JT. If the
       Transfer Balance is less than the sum of $565,840, then such shortfall
       amount shall be paid to JT as an addition to the next payment of
       consulting fees, or at the Company's election, in equal installments as
       an addition to the next two (2) payments for consulting fees.

3.     Consequences of Default
       -----------------------

       3.1  Any failure to pay JT within 10 business days of the date due with
respect to (a) principal and/or interest under the Contributor Notes, (b) rent
pursuant to the HQ Leases, (c) reimbursable expenses, or (d) the payments due
under paragraph 2.3 (a) above, shall constitute an Event of Default.  With
respect to reimbursable expenses, the "date due" shall be the date by  which the
Company normally and customarily effects reimbursement to senior executives
according to established Company policy, but in no event later that 2 weeks
after demand for reimbursement is made (provided such demand is accompanied by
all proper documentary support for the reimbursement request in question).
Furthermore, in the case of consulting fees, any failure to pay TPI on the due
date shall also constitute an Event of Default.

       3.2  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3.3, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, the Company shall become obligated as of the 1st  business
day following the expiration

                                       3
<PAGE>

of the cure period specified in paragraph 3.1 (the "Cure Period"), or in the
case of consulting fees, on the 1st business day following the due date, to
issue to JT shares of common stock in an amount equal to 10,000 shares for each
separate Event of Default (e.g. failure to pay each monthly installment of rent,
a quarterly interest payment, etc., plus 1,000 shares for each day that such
default remains uncured after the due date (with respect to consulting fees) or
expiration of the Cure Period as to all other Events of Default (the "Penalty
Shares").

       3.3  The obligation of the Company to issue the Penalty Shares shall be
specifically conditioned upon verification by at least one member of the
Company's audit committee that an Event of Default has occurred.

4.     Management Authority.  JT shall become the Chief Executive Officer of
       --------------------
Paisano, effective April 3, 2000, to serve thereafter in such capacity in the
discretion of the Board of Directors.

5.     Further Acts.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board of Directors
       ------------
shall adopt appropriate resolutions authorizing and directing its officers to
(a) create and execute all documents necessary and/or appropriate in order to
effect the foregoing, including, without limitation, amendments to promissory
notes, definitive agreements, stock issuance orders, and (b) cause Paisano and
El Paso to take such action as may be necessary and/or appropriate to effect the
foregoing, including, without limitation, Board Resolutions.

I request that the Board accept this proposal by formal resolution.

Sincerely,

/s/ Joseph Teresi
