No 170 is a Triumph Speed Twin or Tiger 100, while 205 looks like a BSA Gold Star.

Hanna (LOC P&P) said:
Ray Weishaar was one of the most popular motorcycle racing stars of the 1910s and 1920s. Nicknamed the Kansas Cyclone, he became part of the Harley-Davidson’s “Wrecking Crew” in 1916.
The team’s mascot was a small pig, which they took around the track on victory laps. Because of this mascot, Harley-Davidson motorcycles are called “hogs.”
