I'm not into losing skin, I know how bad it hurts.., so I wear full leathers now. Like a lot of people I started out with just jeans and a t shirt, tennis shoes, bare hands..basically no protection other than a full face helmet, and although I never went down like that, I could certainly see the potential to get badly rashed up at 60-70mph on the roads here, which are like 36grit sandpaper. For about the past month I've been wearing the leathers/armor, and although its bulky and a little uncomfortable, I feel a lot safer overall. I feel naked riding in just jeans and a t shirt now, there's no going back for me. I know its not gonna save me if I run into a large immovable object at speed, or from the idiot drivers out there pulling out in front of me at the last second, but I certainly feel better about riding with it than without.
