A friend of mine was a volunteer fireman and in that capacity attended
to numerous auto accidents.

He told me of a motorcyclist who had gone down for some reason and was
wearing  a nylon jacket.  The nylon melted as he was sliding along
on the pavement, contributing to his pavement rash thereby, and the 
melted nylon had to be scraped out of the wound in the E.R. at the
hospital.  That's why I wear 100% cotton/wool jeans/slacks when I ride,
along with(a sturdy leather jacket and ALWAYS leather gloves (helmet, too,
of course.)
