Nigerian Motorcyclist Ogbonnaya Kanu Goes On North American Tour by Syreeta(f): 7:57pm On Sep 14, 2016
Nigerian motorcyclist, Ogbonnaya Kanu aka FD is at it again. This time he is off on a North American Tour, also in a bid to attain the Triple Crown Award - only ten to fifteen riders achieve this riding milestone in a typical year. It is a tough and unique standard that is accomplished by tough and unique riders.

In order to qualify for the Triple Crown, FD will have to participate in three different tours - The 3Flags Classic (which involves a cross country ride into the countries of USA, Canada and Mexico); The USA Four Corners tour - an intensive, high endurance ride to the four corners of the USA, and lastly the California Missions Tour. All the rides are organized by the Southern California Motorcycling Association.

An interesting feature of this year’s motorcycling adventure, was that his wife, Eseohe Kanu, accompanied him on the 3Flags Classic. “This has been my fantasy trip. A cross country motorcycle ride..from warm (hot actually) Houston, Texas to cold Kimberly, Canada...7 days, beautiful scenery, lovely towns, old towns and extreme weather with my motorcycle family and the love of my life, my husband. We went through some pretty amazing roads, curvy and roller coaster-like, through and up the mountains, in sun, heavy winds, rain and snow. We spent nights at amazing places, good food and lovely company,” she said.

FD will be completing the USA Four Corners and California Missions Tour with his Canadian counterpart and friend, Chris Bulger of TNT Motorcycling, Canada.

FD was asked to give a talk and was also honored for his achievements in the motorcycling community at the 3Flags Classic Dinner held at the end of the tour.

At the heart of his passion for riding is his service to financially disadvantaged orphans and fatherless children, by providing them with scholarships from primary to first degree level via the Fotodadi Foundation (FD Foundation), of which he is a co-founder.
The proceeds from the sales of his books (FD Breaking Limits:Road to Europe) about his motorcycling adventures are also channeled to the foundation.

The FD Foundation currently sponsors the education of 40 children, and is aided by the support of individuals and organizations. Interested sponsors/supporters may visit the foundation’s website at [url]www.fdfoundation.org.
