Motorcycle Influencer Has Bike Stolen in UK, Highlighting Problem With Society and Police

The UK is increasingly being recognized in motorcycle culture for all the wrong reasons. There's a rabbit hole you can go down on YouTube—if you really want to let your rage out—where it shows thieves on mopeds either stealing bikes while riders are in traffic or when parked—you might be prone to a violent outburst afterward, and you have been warned. 

People are starting to fight back against the thieves, and I say people because it seems like the Police can't or won't do anything to help the situation. But unfortunately, no one was there to help a content-creating motorcyclist who was on a round-the-world trip when his bike was stolen recently.

The motorcyclist is Yogesh Alekari, who has traveled across more than 17 countries since beginning his round-the-world trip on May 1. The 33-year-old was 15,000 miles into this self-set challenge aboard his KTM 390 Adventure when the bike was stolen while parked at Wollaton Park in Nottingham at around 11:00 BST, last Thursday.
