Riding a 1974 Norton John Player Commando 850 in the 150km charity ride Mr Tubman was eager to raise as much as possible for research into prostate cancer and mental health support.
Founded in Sydney by Mark Hawwa, the annual ride unites classic and vintage style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness.
"It was great to take part in such an iconic and enjoyable event, raising money for such a worthwhile cause, it was a brilliant day out and I was happy the old Norton made the distance," Mr Tubman said.
"I was delighted to receive so many generous donations including our two major corporate sponsors Novia Financial and Bravura Solutions, my very charitable and generous friends from the Mckeage Cole Foundation as well as the Hungry Monkey in Kiama.
"It was a fantastic turn out on the day and great to see some of the FinoComp team cheering me on as I came into the final stretch."
