YAMAHA GIVES
AWAY A YAMAHA
XMAX300
Each week, viewers of the popular DSTv
exercise program, Kry daai lyf, had to
submit their answers to a question, and
over a period of 13 weeks, 13 different
weekly winners were chosen. Each week,
the winner won a Yamaha hamper valued
at R1,000 and went into a draw for the
grand prize. At the close of the competition,
the 13 names went into a hat, and a name
was drawn, and the winner was to receive
a brand new Yamaha XMax300 scooter
valued at R69,950.
The lucky winner was, Eleanor Andrews
from Bloemfontein. Sally’s Yamaha, an
offi cial Yamaha dealer in Nelson Mandela
Drive, Bloemfontein, was the closest
Yamaha outlet for the lucky lady to receive
her brand new Yamaha XMax300 scooter.
Eleanor could not contain her excitement
when the XMax300 was unveiled to her for
the fi rst time. A new motorcyclist was born
at this point.
Eleanor was particularly impressed by the
keyless operation of the scooter, and the
attention to detail in the design. Eleanor is
also excited to start with her riding lessons
to get her new journey rolling in the safest
way possible.
We are sure that Eleanor will enjoy many
safe kilometres on her new Yamaha
XMax300.
