Man sues BMW for 20-month erection after bike ride

By Fred Meier, USA TODAY

By David Heald

A California man has sued BMW North America and a motorcycle-seat maker claiming that a four-hour round-trip ride on his 1993 BMW bike with a "ridge-like" seat gave him "a severe case of priapism (a persistent, lasting erection)" that's lasted 20 months and counting.

While there have been concerns about narrow "banana" bike seats causing loss of feeling in that area -- for men and women -- this is the first report we've seen of way too much.

The product liability lawsuit against BMW and well-known aftermarket seatmaker Corbin-Pacific (reported first by Courthouse News Service in California) was filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco last Thursday by Henry Wolf and his lawyer, Vernon Bradley of Sausalito.

The Wolf v. BMW lawsuit alleges that Wolf has continued to suffer the erection problem since the September 2010 ride -- and, as we know from Viagra ads, anything past four hours is a problem.

The lawsuit for emotional distress says Wolf is "now is unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish."

According to the lawsuit, Wolf wants compensation from BMW and Corbin for lost wages, medical expenses, emotional distress and "general damage."

this is like the fat woman suing MickeyDees because she is addicted to the Angus burger and eating 4 a day is the cause of her weight gain! This idiot could see the seat is poorly designed.

That's probably why he bought it in the first place...poorly designed seat to give lasting erections.

I'm looking around for a bike but now I have to give this one some thought, I doan need to walk around pointing.

Can't afford the entire bike, but would like to place a special order for one of those seats. Bet Corbin can't keep up with demands.

In fact it could be a great business opportunity if I can secure an exclusive Canadian distribution rights for those Corbin seats.
