Hi Guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself. Im up from NJ and I just got my hands on a 2008 GS SM5. It was a gift for my 40th birthday from my wonderful wife :). I am a newbie motorcycle/trike rider, so I am taking it one day at a time, slow and steady. I just got my permit, and Im going for the training classes at FDU this weekend. So I have alot to learn. But i am really enjoying every moment of it :). I posted a pic below, But i have put the original gray Frunk cover back on. Any honest opinions on the Red one? Dont worry I have my flame suit on :).

Thanks and I really must say I am humbled to be around a group enthusiasts, I have alot to learn. Hope to see some of you during Spyder Quest.

Thanks,
Fas

Kudos to your wife!! A very thoughtfulgift! You must have been on your best behavior! My first Spyder was a Red, 2008. Enjoy your new gift. And you might want to take your wife out to dinner very soon - maybe as a passenger on your Spyder? Let the fun begin. (PS: Wife and I are from NJ as well- but that was 58 yrs ago).

WOW

Thank you for all the encouraging comments. The board and the community is a huge part of the ownership satisfaction.

Spydaman I'm from Teaneck.. About 3 miles from the GWB. Not the best of roads up here but Ill take what I can get.


I think the weather calls for rain for the next 3 days.. so I'm itching to get out there on the road again... And I have to start getting some sleep and ease off of scouring the site all night :). Its pretty addictive at first :).


O and as for my wife. Yeh, I am really lucky that she still puts up with me after 13 years of marriage, let alone gets me one of these. I mean it is not like we are so well off that this is just some disposable income on the side that she decided to tap into. We have kids and we both work hard. So for her to of saved up for this, and decide to get me this as a birthday gift, I feel truly blessed.

thanks again to all!
Fas

I'd like to be able to say that it was my High School Graduation portrait; but that would be an........ exageration! :D

Fas,
In case the rainy weather has some holes poked in it...
There's a bit of a get together at the ChatterBox on Thursday.
If it's not a steady and miserable rain; we're coming! Scattered showers aren't a major concern! :thumbup:

Welcome. I wish you miles and smiles. Good luck on the license course. My wife completed the three wheel course at Piscataway and great instructors. Hope you have the same experience.
