Adrian Hogg, 47, was killed when he crashed into a roundabout and came off his bike in Bonython on Sunday, May 13.
With his parents on pensions and struggling to pay for a funeral, Adrian's brother Justin Hogg organised a car cruise for Saturday evening to raise money.
Mr Hogg said more than 300 cars, motorcycles and trucks adorned with specially made ribbons joined the procession from Fyshwick to Braddon, with a lot of them strangers who just wanted to help out.
"We're just really overwhelmed and so appreciative," he said.
"Our parents were there, and so were my two other brothers and Adrian's stepchildren.
"I think it was really good for them to see everyone there for Adrian, and to be part of it."
Mr Hogg wasn't yet sure how much money had been raised on the night through donations, a sausage sizzle and ribbon sales, but said it would be a huge help to the family.
The family has also set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Adrian's funeral, which will be held in Mitchell on Thursday morning.
On Monday morning, more than $5000 of the family's $7500 target had been raised.
