But my butt...

Mujhe lagta hai mera woh area mein skin cheel jayega - Bhaskar, my fellow-rider

I never imagined that riding on the Bullet's seat as a pillion would be so difficult - at least for Bhaskar ;-) It's also got to do with the saddle bags - the material is water resistant and so made with tough material that is not easy on the skin. Sitting on it continuously for hours can indeed rupture your butt. At one point - I think somewhere in Rajasthan on the way to Udaipur, B got off the Bull and said, I can't take this torture anymore - it won't be possible to go to Khardung La on this. I said, What?! Then later in the day in Ajmer he clarified it would be impossible to go with this seat - he would decide to go next year or something. Hell - I thought. The next day morning, I waited for breakfast to be over (stomach-happy is always good) and broached the topic again and that we need to find solutions to the problem and not become part of the problem and finally we decided that the seat could be replaced or we'll find a way to get around this.
