Free TVS Apache 310. Gift – mallu_traveler
Shakir Subhan, also known as “Mallu Traveller” who set off on a world tour on a TVS Apache 200 last year had to be sent back to India following the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. Countries have started sealing their borders and Subhan, who cross countries like Iran was on his way to Georgia.
