Damnit! I insist you stop splitting hares!
It's pointless! And funless! And it offends the PETA loons.
Motorcycles adopted the term, "saddlebags" from the prior form of locomotion...the horse. Only transgender hippies call them "panniers"...and a few 'adventure sport' dilweeds that insist military ammunition cans make great luggage carriers.
The seat on a horse is referred to as a saddle. And it does bear almost all of your weight. If you don't believe me, ride 20 miles and compare how little your feet do not hurt with how much your ass does. Spinal compression is included at no extra charge.
The part of the horsie saddle the ass resides on is...the seat. Hunt seat. Jump seat. Yada yada funless pointless hare splitting! /img/vbsmilies/smilies/duck.gif
Oddly, motorcycles refer to the butt contact area as a seat. This despite the fact that body weight is distributed between the floorboards/foot pegs and handlebars, just as it is on a bicycle. Don't think so? Put 400 miles on a GSXR-1100 and see how your wrists hold up.
All I know is that the saddle with the gayest name this side of Ellen O'Rosie is the Douglas Bootie Luv and it's a damned comfy seat. Or saddle. Or both. Meh...so sayeth my hind end.
That said, I've reverted back to my old fav, the Flite Genuine Gel. If any seat has been the 'universal' standard over the years, the Flite series may be it (apologies to the Concor, peace be upon it!).
Selle San Marco Rolls, anyone?
