Let me preface this by saying that my wife is of the opinion that the second you put your leg over a motorcycle, it instantly goes a milionty miles an hour in the opposite direction in rush hour traffic with no brakes or lighting in the dark.
That said, I've convinced her to at least go for her CBT to see what it's like. If she doesn't like it, no harm done, but I'm hoping to change her opinion. I grew up on mopeds and small bikes so I know my passion for them. I'll be doing my CBT too.
I'm looking for cheap-ish helmets which are reasonably safe but still throw-away money in case she hates it, so it's not too much of a waste. I am aware that the CBT trainers supply helmets but I'd prefer to buy her a helmet so it's "hers", plus by buying one, she'll be much more receptive to it an probably enjoy it more as it'll be comfortable for her.
For added bonus points, something cute or pink would be nice (no kittens or whatever, just something a bit girly). What I'd REALLY like is a helmet I had many many years ago, it was a Chupa Chups helmet, can't remember the brand but it was a top brand and the helmet was eye wateringly expensive. If I could get a pair of those at a reasonable price (obviously a lesser brand) that'd be perfect.
My only real criteria as to the style is that it has to offer protection in the rain, so not a half face unless it's one of those flip-up jobbies.
Any ideas?
