Priorities!
Head first
Back
Fingers/hands
Feet/ankles

I just saw a wonderful photo in Fast Bikes this month of what happened to a guy who's MC drug over his foot some distance. Gnarly.

Granted I take into account what I am doing. I am guilty of commuting in Helmet, Jacket, Gloves with Docker pants begging for Karma to skin me like a

.

I have done touring in the above with jeans and boots, risking some abrasion but trying to hedge my bet by keeping my pace down to 70% of my limit.

If I am forseeing any form of testerone and adrenaline riding I have the leathers and back protector and my best helmet.

Good post BUT when you are "taking your chances" you don't consider yourself to be in "full gear" correct? That's my only point,I don't think anyone thinks flip flops and a skull cap with a dot sticker on it is full gear but I've worn that to go to the beach in Daytona.
