Hundreds of Bandidos paid tribute to one of their own as Arthur Joseph Loveday was farewelled at St Agnes Catholic Church.
Mr Loveday moved to Port Macquarie in the late 1990s and was involved with surf life saving and junior rugby league coaching.
The church overflowed with mourners, and those who couldn't fit inside stood in the baking sun or under nearby Norfolk pines.
After the funeral, mourners gently laid the coffin carrying their brother's body on a side car for the journey to Innes Gardens Memorial Park and Crematorium.
Many touched the coffin as a final mark of respect before the group rode up Gordon Street without incident.
