1920's - COLLIE MOTOR CYCLE CLUB
Organised motor cycling activities have existed in Collie since the early 1920's when the first Collie Motor Cycle Club was formed, This was a gathering of enthusiasts which lasted in various forms through to the advent of World War two.
The immediate post war years saw an increase in the popularity of the motorcycle as a means of transport due to a shortage of fuel, also the economy and the availability of ex army surplus machines, so it naturally followed that the motor cycle club was reformed and in 1947 it was decided by the members to affiliate with the West Australian Motor Cycling Association, It may be said that this decision was the real start of the Collie Motorcycle Club.
Amongst those who attended this inaugural meeting were Peter Cochrane, Alan Smith, Buck Loxton, Stan English and Phil Murray.
