Thanks for the story, this makes me feel really good about choosing
a goatskin Flightsuit as my motorcycle jacket :) I came across
studies on motorcycle gear, and thought I'd share this with you from
the Master Strategy Group:

In studies of 'survivability' of various garment materials to a
50 MPH ride on asphalt, for example, denim lasted no more than
FOUR FEET before wearing through. Kevlar, on the other hand,
lasted EIGHTEEN FEET. But standard motorcycle quality (about
three times heavier than fashion jacket material) lasted
EIGHTY-SIX FEET. That's more than 20 times as effective as your
jeans in protecting your hide

Most motorcycle quality leather is around 1.5 mm cowhide, from what
I've seen.
