There are three reasons really. 1. Some people just like the look of it. 2. It makes massaging a bit easier. 3. If you fall off and get road rash or cuts it makes it a lot easier to clean and dress the wound and a lot less painful to take off the dressings.
EDIT three reasons plus the other reasons above^
