When we were kids, my brother was riding one handed with some dry cleaning in the other when he hit fresh pea gravel. He was wearing pants and shirt but still got quite a bit of road rash. He had actually cut school that day and gone swimming and a few days later turned up with poison ivy on top of the road rash. That was before steroids and he was one miserable person for many days.
I ride AGATT and I get sneered at by some people but my I've very fond of my skin and hope to keep it until I don't need it anymore. The vision of that young girl sliding down then highway after coming off her boy friends bike still makes me shudder.
