About the Book

In 2012, prompted by the spirit of adventure, Ogbonnaya Kanu set off on his first unaccompanied and longest biking tour, with his faithful 2010 BMW R1200GS, codenamed Blanks, to ride from Lagos, Africa, to Europe and back. Characterized by interesting food stops, peculiar border crossings, different degrees of culture shock, relationships with nature and her elements, and a rather unusual road obstruction, FD, Breaking Limits: Europe is more than just a guide for the adventurous biker. Beautifully written, FD, Breaking Limits: Europe will take readers into the heart and mind of a man as he travels alone on a road less travelled but with his goal always in sight.


About the Author

Ogbonnaya Kanu, FD, is an engineer, bike enthusiast, adventurer, and a self-professed “too doer.” He has ridden motorcycles in twenty-six countries of the world, twenty-three of which were with his own Nigerian-registered motorcycle. FD has a knack for making history and being a pioneer. He became the first and only Nigerian member of the Iron Butt Association, with a Saddle Sore of 1600K. FD is the first Nigerian to ride from Nigeria to Europe and back, and he is also the first Nigerian to ride to the southernmost tip of the African continent. He is currently the highest certified motorcycle instructor in Nigeria, having completed Probike UK’s Motorcycle Instructor Training, Levels 1 and 2 training at the California Superbike School, UK and Levels 1 and 2 GS, BMW Off-Road Skills. He nurtures a passion for the growth and development of motorcycling in Nigeria and, as such, is a founding partner of the Ride Easy Motorcycle Training School in Lagos, Nigeria, the only riding school in Nigeria with certified motorcycle training instructors. FD lives in Lagos, Nigeria, with his wife and two daughters.
