I went down on my R1 about 2 months ago.... I am really lucky. I was prolly doing 40 or so and flipped over doing a wheelie. Shorts, T shirt, and Helmet. Minimal road rash, and reallly sore knees and shoulder. I have seen an indicated 186mph wearing the same thing. If you go down at that speed, no gear will help.
Why would you be going that fast? You got minimal road rash. Now if you would have had gear you would have had no rash.
I can't understand how people can ride without gear. That's just asking for trouble.
