BMW causes erection. Man NOT happy about it…

May 2, 2012

Okay, not strictly car news, but too good to let slip by really…

A man in – where else – the USA has filed a lawsuit against BMW North America and seat manufacturer Corbin-Pacific after he claimed that a four hour ride on his 1993 BMW motorbike left him with priaprism, or in other words a very long-lasting erection…

Henry Wolf filed the suit a week ago in San Francisco after the four hour round trip left him feeling… ahh… “hard” done by. Wolf’s lawyer says that he has been unable to “engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish”

The complaint reads:

“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.”

Well… BMW car drivers definitely get accused of being cocks, but the bikers REALLY take it to a new level…
