BMW Motorcycle Caused 20-Month Erection, Man's Lawsuit Claims

BMW Motorcycle Caused 20-Month Erection, Man's Lawsuit Claims

Tue May 1, 2012 12:58am EDT
A California motorcyclist's lawsuit claims a bike ride in 2010 took an unexpected turn that caused a
prolonged erection for two years -- and counting.

Henry Wolf blames the after-market "ridge-like seat" on his 1993 BMW motorcycle for causing his
"severe case of priapism (a persistent lasting erection)," according to the lawsuit filed in state court
in San Francisco and obtained by Courthouse News Service.

A four-hour ride on the motorcycle seat, designed and manufactured by Corbin-Pacific Inc., caused
Wolf's condition, his lawsuit asserts. But medical experts aren't so certain.

They don't need to resort to a cheap publicity stunt like this in order to sell them.

As I remember it lasted a lot longer than 20 months. Actually a bike ride sounds good to me now and I would not bring a lawsuit.

and he never had anything like that. I guess the British don't know how to build their bikes for optimum results.
