Only in America.......

A Californian motorcycle enthusiast has taken legal action after a bike seat gave him long lasting erections.

Straight from the “only in America” files comes this – a Californian man is suing BMW North America over a seat that gave him a severe case of priapism (A persistent, lasting erection) that has lasted for 20 months.

Henry Wolf claims his 1993 BMW motorcycle, or more specifically the bike’s “ridge-like” seat, gave him a “severe case of priapism” when he took it for a four-hour ride on May 1, 2010, according to the Courthouse News Service.

Wolf is suing BMW North America and the seat’s manufacturer, Corbin-Pacific, in a product liability lawsuit in the California Superior Court in San Francisco, claiming the “negligent design, manufacture and/or installation of the seat” has caused the painful condition.

Narrow, “banana” style seats similar to the one reportedly fitted to Wolf’s motorcycle have been associated with problems such as genital numbness and even erectile dysfunction, however Wolf’s case is the first known to tackle the opposite side of the problem.

The court notes state the Wolf “has been experiencing continuing problems since his motorcycle ride” including “substantial emotional and mental anguish” and the inability to engage in sexual activity.

Wolf is seeking compensation from both companies for emotional distress, lost wages and medical expenses


Does anyone have the details on the Corbin Importer ???

x 1 for a GS 1150 ADV
x 1 for a Suzuki DR 650
x1 for a Kawasaki KLR 250
x 1 for a Triumph Bonneville T160

However,
I can confirm the standard 'DR' seat is quite 'enjoyable' in this regard..........

Think I could bring legal action against Corbin because my Corbin seat on the GS had not had this effect ???????

The cost of Viagra to give a twenty month errection would probably cost more than the Corbin, (he is in America not Aussie!)
Leagle disclaimer; I must point out that I know the cost of a Corbin seat however I do not know the cost of Viagra so my comparison may not be accurate, therefore readers are advised to do their own price comparison before purchasing either a Corbin seat or Viagra!!!!!! :lol: :oops:
