I agree with your wife.
Years ago I rode with an "old school" biker who dressed up in brown leathers - even on hot summer days. He gave me the best motorcycle advice I've ever been given: "Dress for the accident, not for the ride."

Most accidents happen within a few blocks/ miles to home

I always wear a helmet if I ride outside my neigborhood or campground on my scooter. I always wear a helmet if on my motorcycle. ILL does not require helmets which I think is stupid. I believe you should be required to wear one on anything at the M class (125cc or above I think).
