• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

SM5 or SE5

Glad you said "the few". Count me in. Guess when you have sat between the tires on a front-engined dragster, the other stuff loses its thrill. Our club now numbers two.

Make that three, Scotty and Dudley! :coffee:I could never see the sense in deliberately shredding a perfectly serviceable tire. I don't have the bankroll to support that!

Well, I guess I am just one of the few who rides and has ridden since 1966, over 300K miles and never burned rubber. I just have never seen a reason for doing it. For those of you who enjoy it, go for it! I just thought I would share with all of you.

Well, I have done it a few times (just to prove it could be done :lecturef_smilie:).

The last time my machine was serviced, the tech had just returned from a mandatory BRP class in which they frowned heavily on smoking the rear tire. Not sure what kind, but said chips could enter the drivetrain somehow and wreak havoc.
 
Hello

Read quite a few negative remarks on the SE5 here in the forum. So I am asking for suggestion as to which one to buy. I am a new rider with no experience on a bike so the SE5 will be more easy for me, but don't really want to be going to the dealer every 600 miles. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks
If you want to ride, get the SM5, if you just want to drive, get the SE5.
Manual allows you to get a real feel for a bike. MHO
 
I love my SE5. It used to occasionally stick in Reverse but got that taken care of at dealer. The SE will smoke the tire if you want it to. Upshifting is a breeze and I rarely let the Spyder downshift for me. You have as much control of gear selection as a manual if you want it. Just a matter of how you ride. When riding solo I tend to be more agressive but when my wife and I ride together I like to just take it easy and enjoy the surroundings. No matter which Spyder you choose I think you will enjoy yourself. I love taking off and letting the world melt away....
