Dress for the crash, not the ride.

Also, even as a female, wearing leather pants is a good idea... but good leather pants, not Catherine Zeta-Jones "Entrapment" leather pants.

Denim is good... natural fibre - doesn't melt under friction. Heavy leather is better. Leather over denim is king.

I hate doing anything in boots, but at least I'd wear a good Vibram sole hiker.
