The day I bought chaps to wear on my bike that had a windshield is the day that I stopped worrying about what a "real biker" would do and started worrying about my own comfort on my Daily Rider. Used to ride a hand built bobber with a metal seat pan until I realized that no amount of looking cool is worth that much discomfort.

Riding my Blue Couch is a lot like driving a minivan, and I love it.

Are you drinking your fine beverage while you are riding or do you use it to hold the drink until you get to your destination?

Nah, I reach down to my highway pegs all the time to fix my pants when they fly up. I figure a drink in the same vicinity will be easy to get to, but it gets a bit toasty in a 10 inch radius of that motor, which is my fear.
