    If I had a baby elephant, I'd teach it to skate.

    I'm with jel on this one. Small price to pay for marital bliss. No one else is going to get it in the neck from his missus (or mine).

    Baby elephants are so last year, darling.

    My wife wanted me to wear one for normal riding, commuting etc., I do wear one for racing, TT etc. already, I simply asked her to provide me with evidence that they would provide me with any protection. She couldn't do this satisfactorily and then agreed that they are a waste of time, or may even increase risk, in normal circumstances.

    It's just not practical. You'd have to make an airhole to breathe through and it would probably burst it.

    I tell her that I ride my bike so she can use the car and accordingly I will wear what I like. I also remind her how much money we save by me commuting 120 miles a week by said machine and that seems to do the trick. We have not had this chat now for a long time.

    Yeah, well.... I do because my mom wants me to.

    It's amazing the level of guilt that mums can make you feel, whether it's from 50 or 5000 miles away (she just moved from Arizona to Shrewsbury!).

    Whats FFS mean? Googled it and it came up with Farms For Schools. Now if I went to a school farm should I wear a helmet? Is there any proof that it will help?

    Phone a lawyer you have grounds for divorce due to unreasonable behaviour, helmets are a waste of time, much better off with a pineapple[;)]

    Racing is rubbish you can't relax and enjoy it- because some bugger is always trying to get past.
