Although skin is cheaper than gear, gear is less painful. When I was down in Alabama, we used to ride in shorts and shirts. One day I got cut off and dumped the bike. Luckily it was a low speed incident, but the end of the shorts sliced into the back of my knee. No more short for me on a bike. The ironic thing about that day and the incident was prior to the crash, we were tearing up the back roads well above the limit.
Moral of story:
$h!t happens when you least expect it. be prepared and put down the F'ing phone or stick it in your arse.
Lots of people that wear inappropriate clothing on bikes are squids or folks that have never been down and think they can survive all. There are riders that have have been down and rides that will go down.
