I always heard the term "monkey butt" in our Harley days. I'm sure it was a reference to orangutans, who have the bright red butts, suggesting that one's butt resembled this after a long day riding. Our bikes always had Mustang seats which are some of the most comfortable seats there are for motorcycles, so I never experienced such maladies.
I did SFO to Tampa in under four days in my 1982 300SD, so that probably qualifies.
