I am well aware of the consequences of hitting the pavement at high rates of speed, been there done that. Ballistic nylon and leather can save a considerable amount of skin. I agree that the kilt would be distracting, but it could be tied down or tucked in if that is all you are worried about whilst riding kilted.

I ride in full leathers with padded armor that has saved me from serious injury once already. I would hate to think about what my legs would have looked like after hitting the pavement in a kilt.
