  Mike Grimes Thanks for helping us establish an exact date for this one. And beachcomber australia, for the day of the week.

  Lawrence Ray Weishaar (1890-1924)

• 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.”
