+1 to using proper riding gear.

Laid my old Beemer down at 100km/hr on a wet clay road 20km east of Kal. Slid on my back for miles before ploughing into the grading bank on the side of the road. Even on wet clay I still got a small friction burn through three layers of clothing (yes riding pants, and no not lycra) on my arse cheek.

Bitumen would have torn me to pieces...
