View Full Version : New FFR MK3 owner here
Hey Guys, I'm TMo and have had my MK3 for a few months now. I'm looking forward to learning from you guys. I'd like to say I can contribute too but it may be a while before I will have anything you guys don't already know. I do have some questions for you veterans but I'll wait and see how things work around before I start.
Just a little history. I live in the Lake Lanier area just north of Atlanta Georgia. I've ridden motorcycles all my life. I'm 59 years old, I've had a stroke, a heart attack and have had two major bike accidents. I no longer own a motorcycle. My cobra is my motorcycle replacement therapy. I've decided I like it even more than the bikes. I'm about twenty minutes from the north Georgia mountains. I truly love the cobra on the amazing roads there. Looking forward to learning from you guys. Holla!

Hi TMo,
I have a MKIII also. These are amazing machines. I've heard others call it the "four wheel Harley". Sometimes when I'm going home after a parking lot car show in the evening, I find that it is most like when I rode a two wheeler. Of course the sound is very much like that experience. You don't have to worry about balance any more though.
BTW: I used to live in Chattanooga and was a sailmaker there. We did a lot of racing down at Lake Lanier. That is a wonderful place to live. Buford, Helen, and many other little towns in the mountains are a lot of fun to visit. The mountain roads are custom made for the roadster.
Where did you get your MKIII? Tell us how you got into the activity and pics are required.
Enjoy your new ride. WEK.

TMo,
Welcome to the Factory Five family. I live in Covington, GA but a lot of the local Cobra guys live on the north side and several in the Lake Lanier area. I've got a coupe (it's for sale) and have many miles on the N. Ga. mountain roads. The Deep South Cobra Club usually does a summer cruise weekend in the mountains. Plus they do several runs in different areas of Florida. A fun group!
