Rather than reply, based on your order of priorities I'd rather
sell you on a new first priority... protection.  Let's say right
from the start that I'm being a little hypocritical because I don't
always practice this.  Fortunately, I've only lain my bike down
once when I wasn't wearing leather and that was a very mild slide.
As for the three or four times I've crashed while roadracing, I 
can only say that I cherish my leathers and helmet above most of
my earthly possessions.  

Depending on where you are riding and how fast, there is a leather
jacket and pants that will suit your need.  Like I said, even though
I think I should, I don't always wear my leathers in the summer
for easy riding.  But there are plenty of times when leather
is not only the safest thing you can wear, it is quite comfortable
also.
