As it has every year since it debuted in 2008, this blog about Royal Enfield motorcycles will, once again, not feature an April Fool's item.
The problem, as I explained to my wife Bonnie, is that I am not a funny guy.
"I can never think of a good April Fool's joke," I said. "I am the kind of person who falls for the jokes other blogs do."

"You could make some phony announcement about Royal Enfield," she suggested.
"I just don't want to be irresponsible," I replied.
"Don't worry, honey," she said. "You're not quite in Google's league."
