Dug Dug, the motorcycle deity
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-59036542
A new film, which is based on a bizarre story of a temple dedicated to a motorcycle deity, is creating a buzz in the international festival circuit, writes Faizal Khan.
Modestly titled, Dug Dug, echoing the thumping sound of a Royal Enfield motorcycle first made in the English town of Redditch, Worcestershire, more than a century ago, the film has a fairy tale plot.

I'm an Indian based Enfield FB group and they all refer to their bikes as Dug Dugs (or Bulls).

Re: Dug Dug, the motorcycle deity
TBH sounds perfectly reasonable, though my motorcycle god be called Screaming Banshee
There's even a Ramones song that describes my new bike.

Re: Dug Dug, the motorcycle deity
This is very disturbing:
An old Luna, an Indian moped modelled on the Italian Piaggio vélo bike, replaced Rathore's Bullet motorcycle in the film.
