                  RESTRICTED SHARES AND WARRANTS

                      (WILLIAM R. NORDSTROM)

    THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into to be effective for all purposes
as of April 21 1997, by and between Newriders, Inc., a Nevada corporation

     In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties
hereby agree as follows:

    1. Purchase and Sale of Shares. On the Closing Date, and subject to the
terms and on the conditions set forth herein and in reliance upon
representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the Company will
sell to Buyer and Buyer will purchase from the Company 192,300 Shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Shares"), for a total cash consideration (the
"Purchase Price") in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000.00).

      2. Warrants. In addition to the Shares, Company shall also issue to
Buyer in consideration of the Purchase Price as set forth in Paragraph 1
above, rights to purchase up to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) Shares of
the Company's common stock (the "Warrants") at a price of $4.00 per share,
provided that such purchase is completed not later than the second anniversary
of the date of this Agreement. The Warrants may be exercised in increments of
not less than Ten Thousand Shares and on not less than three (3) business days
notice to the Company. In the event that before the Warrants are exercised,
the Company shall effect a split of outstanding stock, pay a stock dividend or
reclassify its shares, the number of Warrants and exercise price shall be
adjusted appropriately to prevent their dilution.

     3. Closing Date. The sale and purchase of the Shares shall occur on April
18, 1997, (the "Closing Date"). On the Closing Date, the Company shall issue
and deliver the Shares and Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price in cash.

represents and Warrants to Buyer as follows:

of its jurisdiction of incorporation and is qualified to transact business in
each jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or conduct of activities

materially adversely affect the operations of the Company. The Company has all
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and carry out any
obligations required of it under this Agreement.


          B. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and
sale of the Shares and Warrants have been duly authorized and (and the shares
issued upon the exercise of the Warrants), the Shares will be validly issued
and fully paid nonassessable shares of the Company's common stock. Performance
by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement do not conflict with or
violate (i) the charter documents or bylaws of the Company (ii) any indenture,
loan agreement lease, mortgage or other material agreement binding on the
Company (iii) any order of court or administrative agency binding on the
Company or (iv) any applicable law or government regulation; except in the
case for any such conflicts or violations which would not have a material
affect on the Company and such performance does not and will not require the
permission or approval of any governmental agency and will not result in the
imposition or creation of any lien or charge against any assets of the
Company.

          C. No material default on the part of the Company (including any
event which, with notice or passage of time would constitute default) exists
under any material indenture, loan agreement, lease, mortgage or other
material agreement to which the Company is a party.

          D. To the best of Company's knowledge, all of the materials
delivered to Buyer in connection with the sale and purchase of the Shares,
including without limitation, the Form 10-SB (as defined below), are free of
material omissions or misstatements and accurately set forth the Company's
financial position.

          E. Except with the consent of the Buyer which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the
Shares exclusively for costs and expenses directly related to the design,
planning, construction, development, completion, opening and operation of and
equipment and inventory for the Company's Easyrider Cafe and Apparel Store at
Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

     5. Buyer's Representations and Warranties. Buyer hereby makes the
following representations and warranties to the Company and agrees to
indemnify and bold harmless and pay any and all judgments and claims against
the Company, its officers, employees and agents from and against any liability
or injury, including, but not limited to, that arising under any
misrepresentation of the Buyer, or failure of any warranty made by the Buyer
as follows:

          A. Buyer has all power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and carry out his obligations hereunder and is not purchasing the Shares for
the benefit or account of any other person or entity.

purchase of the Shares is at least One Million Dollars ($(1,000,000.00), or
(ii) who had individual income in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000.00) (Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) if the income of

in the Company that are available, have been delivered or otherwise made

Company and Buyer has the financial net worth to afford a complete loss of his
investment in the Shares.

          F. Buyer's acquisition of the Shares was not effected through the
publication of any advertisement.

indirect distribution of them or any interest therein.

the securities covered by the Warrants have been approved by the Securities
and Exchange Commission nor the Nevada or California Departments of

Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and that the Shares, Warrants and
securities represented by the Warrants are restricted securities under Rule
144. Buyer further acknowledges that the Shares, Warrants and securities
represented by the Warrants may not be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred
until such time as they have been registered under applicable state and
federal securities laws or that in the opinion of securities counsel
acceptable to the Company, an exemption from such registration or
qualification is available for their sale, assignment or transfer.
