They’re named after the Roman god of inspired madness, but nothing too wild was observed at a gathering of the Bacchus Motorcycle Club in New Brunswick this weekend. There was also apparently no connection to Italian Baroque master Caravaggio, who painted the semi-nudie masterpiece, Bacchus, so don’t go to the Bacchus gathering looking for art of the non-tattoo variety either. No word on whether the Bacchus bikers will Harley up to Ottawa after their meeting to see the Carravagio exhibit there. Michelangelo Merisi da Carravagio was a bad boy of the 17th century, with a reputation for killing, prison breaking and all-around rebellion centuries before the Harley first hit the road. He was also an inspiration for Martin Scorcese. Who knows? Maybe the New Brunswick Bacchus boys would enjoy the show.
