A milkman delivering milk with several cans hanging from the side of a bicycle or bike is a common sight in India. Normally, milk delivery men use a ‘not so expensive’ two-wheeler for this purpose. However, to change this pattern, a milkman has gone viral on the internet. A video circulating on social media shows a milkman delivering milk on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The bike in the video appears to be the Harley Davidson Street 750, whose last known price in India was Rs 4.69 lakh (ex-showroom). It is to be noted that the company stopped selling the motorcycle in the country after winding up its operations.
The video has been shared on Instagram by a user named Amit Bhadana. In the video, a man on a Harley Davidson motorcycle can be seen leaving a house on his bike with 2 milk canisters hanging on either side. Later, he can be seen riding a bike on the roads along with the can. Also, the number plate of the bike is shown in the video with ‘Gurjar’ written on it instead of the registration number.

This video was posted online on 18 December. Since then it has received tons of likes and comments and has been viewed over 3 million times. The footage stunned many and sparked a wave of reactions.
Some netizens praised the milkman for his motorcycle and his down-to-earth nature. At the same time, others criticized the man for not wearing a helmet and questioned how he is allowed to ride a bike on the road without a proper number plate with the registration number.
This is not the first time a milkman has gone viral for his unique delivery vehicle. Earlier, a video of a man riding a three-wheeler to deliver milk had gone viral on social media. Furthermore, the clip was shared by business tycoon Anand Mahindra through his official Twitter handle. He also complimented the man for his vehicle and called it the ‘coolest thing’ he had seen in a while.
