Hi all,
I only just got my bike a month or 2 ago (just clocked 2000 km on it yesterday) and the plan was just to use it to commute to work and back (fuel is expensive everywhere).... well now the car is rotting in the garage and I find any excuse to ride it -

I have a Big Boy DRT150 which is more of a delivery bike than a road/sports bike. As I said before, it was only to commute to work so i wanted something cheap and cheap on fuel....But I fell in love.

Now I am saving up for a on/off 250cc, as I live on natures doorstep and there are a lot of hills and valleys that need to be explored....

Thanks for this cool forum and of course I only found it cos I was looking for more info on my bike - lol.

Nice to meet you all.

Hi Zoomlolly, welcome to the C-Moto family. You live in a great part of the world for exploring, although it's a bit flat there isn't it? You should have some fun if you can get to St. Lucia, or Kosi Bay.

Thanks It is not as flat as you think - there are km's of sugar cane fields and forestry at our doorstep.
We go inland for the hills and there are lovely towns like Eshowe and Melmoth not far from here.

St Lucia is around 80km from here and we dont even have to take the tar road there...

Fosti is a brand with some history. They're the 1st maker of Honda clone stunk on the GN body in mainland China. (Rumor say it's a solution from Taiwanese firm ). http://scumotor.com.tw:8080/brdmore/OHV&508
