Here I am on my bike
I got a bee inside my trousers once while riding. I immediately stopped, got off and pulled down my trousers. It's not even worth trying to preserve your modesty in that situation. The good news is I was driving down a quiet little country lane. The bad news is I was directly in front of someone's house when I stopped! Whether they actually saw this biker suddenly stop in front of their house and drop his trousers I will never know!

I have to admit that it would have been a non-issue in a kilt, but I still don't think it's safe to ride a motorcycle in a kilt.
