Absolutely right! I've got a dozen or so pairs of the jeans and one of the Kevlar-lined jean jackets, so the leathers are mostly reserved for winter. Even though I'm no longer a part of the process, the basic idea is still great. About the only time I'm willing to wear a kilt on the bike is when I'm on the sidecar rig and only traveling a short distance such as from one venue to another at a Highland games event. For more spirted riding and longer distances, I always advocate protective gear.
