Twenty Years of Chopper Dedication and Hard Work by Dan Stern Decades ago (mid ‘90s) Paisano Publications came out with an upscale magazine called VQ. I’m sure a take-off on GQ.

Hey, It’s all in the wind. I’m watching a series called Ozark. It’s a mess. Have you watched House of Cards? Talk about a train wreck. It has no social redeeming value. It’s all evil. I stopped watching it after a couple of episodes. I don’t like watching shows that turn all negative or immoral.

I was going crazy. I was horny as hell and had the blues as I wandered into the new Easyriders Saloon and Steakhouse in Sturgis, on Lazelle.
