Thirty-five riders finished at Pickles in Dubbo on Friday, after a week on the road touring places that many hadn't experienced before.
And they raised $100,000 for Variety, the Children's Charity.
Variety regional motoring events manager Vic Sheil said, following the success this year, they were already planning another one for 2021.

"We're planning different destinations, maybe even across the borders when they open up.
"We have riders from all over the state, up and down the coast. It's really a state wide drawcard for us, and a lot of people who hadn't experienced a Variety ride like this before.
"It was great thing to take these guys to places they hadn't experienced before. It was a real sightseeing tour for some of them who haven't experience that part of the state before, and with the rain recently, and the flowers up, it was really quite spectacular."
Mr Sheil said all the riders had been treated wonderfully at each town they passed through.
"Some of the smaller towns hadn't had visitors for quite some time, and it was really good, to be there for them. They treated us extra well."
The week-long ride left Dubbo on October 19, with riders travelling to Bourke, White Cliffs, Tibooburra, Cameron's Corner, Broken Hill and Condobolin before returning to Dubbo on Friday.
