A man from California, Henry Wolf, is suing BMW North America over medical expenses, emotional distress and "general damage" related to a four-hour long bike ride that left him with a persistent erection.

According to the local CBS station, Wolf alleges that a ride on his 1993 BMW motorcycle with a "ridge-like" seat caused the erection that has lasted 20 months and resulted in Wolf being "unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish."

According to USA Today, the lawsuit against BMW and aftermarket seat maker Corbin-Pacific was filed last Thursday. The case states that Wolf has been suffering from the erection since September 2011, when he rode his motorcycle.

    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    I dont see how a motorcycle made 20 years ago can be blamed

    2 options

    1) Become an adult film actor

    2) Take loads of speed and it will vanish (for a few hours anyway)

    Thinking about that comment, in a bike forum, it actually makes sense. Not suitable for CC. Try harder.



    ps you don't have a good spin in you, obviously.

    sueing BMW when he was not using a BMW seat.

    and they need a proof reader
    According to USA Today, the lawsuit against BMW and aftermarket seat maker Corbin-Pacific was filed last Thursday. The case states that Wolf has been suffering from the erection since September 2012, when he rode his motorcycle.

    Biker sues BMW for 20-month erection
    Published: 2 May 12 10:56 CET

    Top German automobile maker BMW is facing a stiff legal challenge from an American man who claims a four-hour ride on one of their motorbikes left him with a permanent erection.


    BMW markets its cars and motorbikes under the slogan “Sheer Driving Pleasure”, and also boasts “Less emissions. More driving pleasure”, but Californian Henry Wolf says his life has been devastated by the after-effects of his BMW bike experience.

    Wolf is suing BMW and saddle-manufacturer Corbin-Pacific for medical costs, emotional stress and loss of income after a fateful road trip on his 1993 motorbike. Wolf says he has had a constant erection for 20 months.

    Wolf's lawsuit says he is “now is unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish.”

    According to a report by US broadcaster CBS, Wolf bought a special ridge-like seat, meant to enhance comfort, for around $200 (€150).

    But urologists dispute Wolf's claim that his beamer is due to his Beamer.

    “It’s been long-known that compression of the neurovascular supply to the penis - if it’s compressed for a period of time, whether it be on a bicycle seat or some other device — it can actually cause prolonged numbness of the genitalia,” Dr. Michael Lutz of the Michigan Institute of Urology told US radio station WWJ Newsradio 950.

    “Not only in men, but women can also get numbness in that region if they’re compressing those nervous structures to that region of the body,” he added.

    A spokeswoman at BMW Motorcycles in Southeast Michigan underlined the fact that Wolf was not riding a standard BMW seat. “Sometimes people say it’s more comfortable," she told CBS. "Sometimes people can get a tall seat or a low seat or ... they can come heated.”
