Man Sues BMW Over 20 Month Erection

A California man who claimed that he suffered from a 20-month-long boner after riding his BMW K1100RS motorbike for 4 hours has sadly had his case dismissed.

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, Judge James McBride ruled 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.

  1. Very doubtful that any BMW would cause such a problem.
    An event more commonly caused by high end retro Yamahas or Suzukis.
    And besides erections are not a problem.
    You are just not making good use of it.
