TOTT REPORTER
Hero Motorcycles has
great news for Port
Alfred biking
enthusiasts, having opened its
doors on Monday morning,
selling quality bikes at
affordable prices.
At the opening of Hero Port
Alfred, which is situated at 88
Albany Road, owner Brian
Fitzhenry told Talk of the Town
he had decided to start the
business after seeing an
advertisement about Hero
bikes.
“The ad showed these
quality bikes that have a fiveyear,
100,000km warrantee.
“Best of all, the prices were
right, ranging from R20,000 to
R45,000, and they are therefore
much cheaper than many
similar bikes on the market.
“I worked elsewhere in
Africa for eight years where
motorcycling is a way of life.
“I wanted to bring the same
benefits to the local people.
“It is one of the best ways to
travel in Africa. I want to make it
possible to own a bike.
“These bikes are suitable for
everyone, whether you use
them for day-to-day transport,
HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO: The newest store in Port Alfred opened its doors on Monday October 11.
