I am getting it from Motorcycle Mall in Belleville off 21 and yes I will have to hit both 21 and rt 3 to get home and right now it looks like I will be riding it home. A few weeks ago I discovered someone a few block from me had a silver SM5 and of course we became friends, his is at motorcycle mall now getting the gear position sensor changed and he will ride with me on Friday.

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.
Well I took the leap

You need to be a persistant shopper and wheeler dealer if your going to find one for $10,000. I have seen ONE used Spyder that sold for around $10,000. Most sell at $13,500 and up.

Did not know private message was off, no wonder I did not get any replies to the over 10 pm I have sent. I will try to change this but not sure where to do it.

Well picked up my new SE5 today. After riding around and putting little over 100 miles I am finally home and I have to say it was a BLAST to ride but also I am in a lot of PAIN. The position I sit, knees bent handle bar so low and position of neck and shoulders left me in lots of pain it's been over 25 years that I had to ride in this kind of a sitting position. Will definitely have to get handle bar riser foot pegs and a must a new taller windscreen as I am not used to the wind trying to break my neck and hope some floor board and brake pedal extension comes out as well. Not sure how to describe the ride as I did not ride one before getting mine and can't compare to anything, I am not sure if the SE5 is shifting right as everywhere I read about it says it is very smooth and I find it shifts just like any manual bike with same sound and feel, but so far my 09 SE5 seem to be just OK brakes seen fine did get on it a few time and shifter seems to work ok steering also seem ok except at a stand still if I try to turn it feel a bit jerky but that must be the power system kicking in. All in all I am happy with my new spyder but will enjoy in more as soon as I get these mods that will make it more comfortable foe me to sit, could not go on a long ride say 200 miles or more with how it is set up right now and I thing I will give it a rest for a few days or give my body a rest for a few day so my muscles heal.

Congrats Burg650. All those mods you've mentioned are available right now at one place or another. If you searched the SpyderLovers forum for "floorboards" or "brake extension" or other terms like that, you could find what others have bought or made to accommodate themselves. I would search for some of those things for you but I am semi-busy right now. Maybe lamonster should change my name tag to Semi-Helpful Member. 
:congrats:

Feeling guilty for not doing just a bit extra (and not wanting lamonster to demote me) I did just a basic search on floorboards. Here is one of the many helpful threads from that search. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9296&highlight=floorboards
