recently changed the oil = added a little less than a quart,
While riding I felt the engine feeling very hot. I stopped at the gas station and check the oil, it was fine. After riding for a good half hour got home and I check the oil again. As i pulled the dip stick out oil started pouring out, a good 5 table spoons spilled. What does this mean?

The moral of the story here is to check the oil when the engine is cool. There isn't much leeway between the full mark and the point where overflow occurs. When the oil got good and hot, it expanded which resulted in the spill when you checked it hot. Check it when it's cool and you will probably have to add a little to get it back to full.
