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.


I'm surprised his Dr didn't just prescribe one ride on an FJR to cure that.

yeah, Susan and I were sitting on the couch a few years ago when one of those ed commercials came on. I nudged her in the ribs and gave her one of those single raised eyebrow looks. She replied, "you're on your own after the first hour". Sad

The ED ads always say to call a doctor if an erection lasting 4 hours or longer. I always tell the girl that's so they can swing by and give you a high five. Always wanted to make the call to see how many nurse would volunteer a house call.

SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - A man claims in court that a four-hour ride on a BMW motorcycle with a "ridge-like" seat gave him "a severe case of priapism," which left him "unable to engage in sexual activity."

     The man sued BMW of North America and Corbin-Pacific, which made the seat, in a bare bones complaint.

     Aside from four pages of checked boxes, the complaint states, in its entirety, that on May 1, 2010, "Plaintiff was riding his 1993 BMW motorcycle equipped with a Corbin-Pacific seat. The ride lasted approximately two hours each way to plaintiff's destination, after which plaintiff developed a severe case of priapism (a persistent, lasting erection). Plaintiff alleges that this condition was caused by the ridge-like seat on his motorcycle, negligently designed, manufactured and/or installed by defendants.

     "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."

     He seeks damages for lost wages, personal injury, medical expenses, product liability and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
     He is represented by Vernon Bradley of Sausalito.

I think he's shamelessly publicity-seeking in order to boost his dating prospects.  Wink There's no grounds for a lawsuit against BMW, as the seat is made for Corbin.


Quite honestly, the same situation arose for me on my Moto Guzzi...  I wrote them a thank you letter.   Bigsmile

There were a few years in which BMW offered Corbin saddles as standard or optional equipment. It is possible that the motorcycle in question is one of these -- doubtful, but possible.
