Gabe Wortman really loved bikes - did he love BIKERS as well ?

they worship the motorcycle almost as much as Wortman did

Gabriel Wortman, for 40 years out of his 52 years, really really loved motorcycles.

Even as a young teenager, he disdained the school bus as ‘intended only for the hoi polloi’ and rode his off-road Honda on the road every day, in every kind of weather, back and forth the 5 km to high school.

It is in fact the only thing most of the kids remember about him : Gabe and his bike.

He loved it more than any pet, than any human being.

He declined to go to university, preferring to work in a garage, as a grease monkey, fixing up cars and bikes, to be closer to his true beloved.

When he became a millionaire he had dozens of motorbikes, all lovingly polished up and on constant display in his warehouse shrine to the motorbike.

Now who else do we know are violent, love to drink and are as obsessed with motorcycles as Gabriel was ?

Right, criminal BIKERS.

Just imagine GW’s delight when a real life Hell’s Angel biker moved in next door near his rural Portapique home : a real criminal with a real passion for violence, beer and bikes.

What happened next ?

Gabriel Wortman : just a criminal biker or also a criminal informant biker ?

We may never know the real truth....

addendum, June 21st : silly me, I forgot that the reason why GW bonded with his one true friend at UNB, Candy Palmater, was that her folks, self-described bikers, ran a Harley-Davidson dealership in Northern new Brunswick. Bikes, Bikes, and Bikers !
