BMW being sued

[Linea-Lover]

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."

I didn't know what to do(to like or laugh) on the topic

First time I am hearing about this damage due to the seat. Interesting case. Where is our LONE WOLF RIDER Praful.

Its a known cause. Read "priapism" on wikipedia and it mentions 1993 BMW motorcycles as a cause. Lol

That's all I got to say to this hopeless man!

They talk about hours, that it should be treated if one doesn't lose an erection after a few hours. Here its been months.. almost 2 years infact. What the hell was he doing?? .

[blackhorn]

probably experimenting with women , maybe its a therapeutic tool(the seat i mean ), to treat people who have this sort of dysfunction

[Praful]

Viagra now has competition

[blackhorn]

oh surely, i guess by this time he must have changed his name to Mr. Eternal Hardwood

So after 10 months he realized that something's wrong.
Unless he'd reported this to a proper hospital and/or the company immediately; I don't see him winning this.

He realized after 20 months and not 10 months
