About Us
AFRICAN MOTORBIKE LTD. was started by native Ghanaian Abubakari Kassum, known locally as Abu Rasta, and his American wife Diandra Jones.
Seeing a real need to include the people of Kokrobite Beach in the recent tourism boom in this small but fast-growing fishing village, Abu and Diandra combined their resources and ideas to found AFRICAN MOTORBIKE LTD., a motorcycle rental and tourism company that seeks to involve, rather than exploit, the resources and people of Ghana to improve the local quality of life, and invite travelers to gain an authentic insight to the beauty of Ghana.
An experienced rider and motorcycle mechanic, Abu has spent his entire life in Ghana and lived for several years in the Kokrobite area. He has motorcycled extensively through Africa and Europe, and knows from first-hand experience the landscape and people of Ghana and West Africa, which he proudly shares with his guests.
Motorcyclists who rent from AFRICAN MOTORBIKE LTD. can be assured that they see Ghana through a true insider's perspective. Rather than paying a high price for a "tourist-tailored" experience, AFRICAN MOTORBIKE LTD. guarantees modest rates for a Ghanaian view of Ghana.
Diandra Jones and Abubakari Kassum
Founders of AFRICAN MOTORBIKE LTD.
Diandra and Abu met while Diandra was volunteering as a dancer and teacher with Sankofa Center, a non-profit NGO that teaches HIV/AIDS awareness to marginalized youth through traditional African dance and drama.
Diandra Jones comes from a family of motorcyclists in rural Pennsylvania. Having toured all over the world as a professional Irish step dancer and performing artist, she was teaching high school and performing locally in Chicago, when she ventured to Ghana and happened to meet Abu, their life plans changing fortuitously.
