    I know this is opening me up for total abuse but I have broad shoulders so should be able to take it.

    My problem is when I put my helmet on it pulls the top of my 'donkey ears' down folding them. I usually just shove my finger in afterwards to flip my 'Mr Spocks' back upright but now I am using ear plugs it pulls them out as well. I cant not use the ear plugs as my 'Dumbos' are starting to flap on me.

    Anyone have any advice other than taping my 'head wings' like a rugby player.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    vasoline?......chain lube....or perhaps a head sock, I have a very thin cotton faceless balaclava which keeps my sticky out bits in the right place, got it from ebay for £2.99. My wife just said 'staples' with a sadistic look on her face.

    I have the same issue with the wings and have to shove my finger up the side of the helmet to flatten them out again I always use B and Q orange earplugs and don't have any trouble with them popping out,they're pretty good plugs too and cheap

    Try putting your forehead in first then pulling the helmet around and down.
    If that doesnt work you've either got the wrong helmet for your ears or the wtong ears for your helmet.

    Go try on a lot of helmets I bet you'll find one that works for you.

    Failing that move to Florida you don't need a Lid there.

    Are you sure you are putting your ear plugs in properly and the helmet fits properly?
