September 1, 2025 -

Imagine riding your motorcycle all the way from Mumbai, India → London → Cape Town… only to have it vanish overnight.

That’s exactly what happened to my friend Yogesh (@roaming_wheeels) — an overlander and world record traveller. On 28th August 2025, his 2025 KTM 390 Adventure was stolen in Nottingham, UK, along with all his luggage, passport, and clothes.

🔑 Bike details: • Plate Number: MH43CN1088 • VIN Number: MD2JGKXM5SN222778

📽️ Video of the thief (Instagram Reel): https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOCKpy-CPo-/?igsh=ZndnOWwxdG9hMHVv

This isn’t just a bike — it’s his entire journey, his dream, and years of preparation. Right now, everything hangs in the balance.

🙏 If anyone in or around Nottinghamshire spots the bike, hears anything, or has CCTV/contacts that might help — please step in. Even just sharing this post could make a huge difference.

Let’s try to turn this nightmare into the story of how a community came together to keep a dream alive. ❤️
