They gathered to honor a friends and fellow rider Monday morning. Dozens of bikers gathered in Grand Island to pay tribute to LeRoy Kraft.

Kraft, who passed away last week, was the original owners of The Honda Shop.

Many of those who gathered to pay their respects today have purchased a bike from Kraft throughout the years.

Even those who didn't know him, wanted to help say goodbye.

"My father-in-law and LeRoy used to ride in the Little Motorcycle Club and cause all kinds of trouble back in their day," said Mark Means.

"He would be thrilled, a lot of people have different sayings about him, he's a special man," said Dean Pennington.

LeRoy's silver three wheeled motorcycle lead the procession.
About 30 riders took part in the ride.
