Default BMW and seat company being sued, motorcycle seat causing persistent erection

Man Sues BMW for Causing Persistent Erection
27/04/2012 | By: Dennis Chung 4 Comments

A man is suing BMW and seat-manufacturer Corbin-Pacific because a four-hour motorcycle ride gave him an erection that would not go away.

The civil suit, filed in the Superior Court of California in San Francisco, alleges the plaintiff, Henry Wolf, developed a severe case of priapism after a long ride on a 1993 BMW motorcycle. Priapism is a medical condition where a ***** becomes erect and does not return to a flaccid state.

Wolf claims he rode the motorcycle on a four-hour trip – two hours each way – on May 1, 2010. Soon after, the man claims, he developed a case of priapism. He blames the condition on the motorcycle seat which is describes as “ridge-like”.

The man claims the condition caused emotional distress. Court documents state:

Plaintiff now suffers from priapism (a long lasting erection), and has been experiencing continuing problems since his motorcycle ride. He is now unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish. Plaintiff is distraught and distressed because of this. Defendants, and each of them, are liable to Plaintiff due [to] their negligent design, manufacture and/or installation of the seat on Plaintiff’s motorcycle

Is he bragging or complaining? Probably isn't the seat, but an emotional relationship with the bike.

Once again.....another idiotic lawsuit......seriously once judges start throwing this crap out of courtrooms and it becomes national, maybe people will understand they can't sue left and right for the dumbest reasons.

Chances are that Mr. Henry Wolf was not engaging in sexual activities with other humans anyways. This is what is wrong with society these days... Soon people will sue vaccum companies when their personal parts get stuck in them for 4 hours and they can not perform right.

I had a Corbin seat on my Honda and rode for much longer than 4 hours with nothing other than a tired back from leaning over for so long.

Sad that our courtrooms are filled with such ridiculous lawsuits.
