LOL also, I would have to insist he stops rubbing the hood while he is talking about it. He also seemed to imply that he was gay, which is fine, but why give a gender to an object? Its not like a blow up doll. O well...

Default Permanent erection lawsuit against BMW thrown out


The California man who claimed that he suffered from a 20-month erection after a four-hour ride on his BMW K1100RS motorcycle (similar model pictured above) has had his case dismissed. It seems the court found his claims too hard to believe.

Henry Wolf filed a product liability lawsuit against BMW and seatmaker Corbin-Pacific in the California Superior Court in April 2012 after he claimed a motorcycle ride in September 2010 caused a long-term case of priapism from the "ridge-like" saddle design. He asked for compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and emotional distress from both companies.

Nearly two years later, according to Visor Down, Judge James J. McBride decided that the case didn't have enough supporting evidence. A urologist testified that the plaintiff had priapism, but the court rejected the testimony of a neurologist who claimed the motorcycle's vibration caused the disorder. The defendants presented testimony from the bike's former and subsequent owners. Corbin-Pacific CEO Mike Corbin also spoke in the company's defense.

If BMW had been found liable, it's possible it would've found a whole new group of buyers desiring its bikes...

a four-hour motorcycle ride gave him an erection that would not go away.


He is now unable to engage in sexual activity]
Come on. Make up your mind. Either you can or you can't.

Well that explains it. I bought one of the seats and nothing happened. I now see you have to buy the entire bike.
