In previous interviews too, the Chief Justice had revealed he used to ride a Bullet manufactured by Indian company Royal Enfield.

Last year, Bobde had met with an accident while test-riding a motorcycle, which has been learned to be a high-end Harley Davidson as well. He fell off the bike and fractured his ankle.

Bobde, who was part of the landmark Ayodhya title dispute verdict, is currently presiding over hearings through video conferencing since nationwide lockdown to contain the outbreak of coronavirus.
