falling off your motorbike hurts even with armour. A dog ran out to attack me whilst I was having a bike lessson for my licence, and I flew over the handlebars.(lucky not my bike - hee hee) Shredded my gloves as my hands skidded along the bitumen. Not long after that I ran up the back of a mini (my fault) that braked suddenly when a bus decided to enforce it's rights about pulling out in front of traffic. thankfully all that happened there was a flat tyre and no damage to either vehicle.
Not that I ride a motorbike any more, but I learned early to always wear boots and gloves, because coming off even at low speed will shred your clothes and your skin.
