Ass, left love-handle, both shoulders, both forearms, left wrist, left calf, a little bit on my back...
Pretty much everywhere but my face. I look like a mummy right now.

When I took my motorcycle safety course.. they said that a good quality leather covering your body will only buy you maybe a few feet of contact with pavement. After about three feet the leather is gone and your skin is exposed... And that is the really heavy thick type of leather that most people don't bother to wear.
I hope the guy has insurance...

If I had been wearing leathers, I would have been much better off. All I had on was blue jeans and a long-sleeve athletic shirt.
My leather boots were all scuffed up, but they survived intact. Leather may only be good for a few feet of continuous contact, but the thing is that you're not sliding on one spot the whole way... you're tumbling and the parts of your body actually skidding on the concrete/pavement are constantly changing.

Showered for the first time since the accident this morning...
Went much better than I thought it would.
