Hmmmph.

By the end of his career he had received 16 medals, five of which were for heroism. He is one of 19 people to be twice awarded the Medal of Honor, one of three to be awarded both the Marine Corps Brevet Medal and the Medal of Honor, and the only person to be awarded the Brevet Medal and two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions.


DANG!

So, might be doing a proper dyno tune on mine next monday...working out a group dyno thing on monday with Spider. Then I'll see what it really can do.

[Krandall]

noice. Where's this dyno at? Thought you couldn't find any around you?

[Spartan]

It's in Live Oak FL...About 3+/- hours away...I didn't find out about them til a few months ago and I was trying not to do a 3-4 hour drive but I guess I gotta do what I gotta do. You might've heard of them...Walsh Race Craft. They do a lot of YFZ stuff.

[Krandall]

I HAVE heard of them. That's awesome. For a good tune, hard to go wrong.

[Spartan]

Yeah, I've just been slacking on it...but I think before I do any motor changes I am gonna get it tuned and go from there...I still would like to explore another build path. Power is not a big factor, I know that the little lever on the bars controls how fast it goes, I just want to see what it does when I change around a few parts.
