Lets be fair though, after a 20 month boner, the loss of blood flow to the brain must be substantial, no wonder he isn't thinking straight!

A US 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 (http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/04/27/46030.htm).
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.

Say - don't those VMX bikes have a banana seat on them???

If we read this right - a 1993 bike and Corbin is involved? He rode it several months??? Jeeze..... Maybe his wife wouldn't let him stop riding it?

Maybe his silicon inplant reacted to the glue on the underside of the seat cover or summat.

No Joke - Wellie type 1's used to have these informative lectures from specialists at regular get togethers - really top people in their fields and usually really interesting informative talks with tips on preventing the worst of the complications. Last one ever was on pregnancy and erectile dysfunction in type 1 diabetics.... There was me, another guy who was there for the coffee, Vicki and a pregnant chick plus 5 nurses... Damn shame as it was really interesting - got the low down on how viagra and cialis actually works plus various, erm, mechanical options as well... My guess is that this chaps plugged the wrong lead into the BMW accessory jack and....

Of course me bein a Guzzi owner an all, I don't need that crap - we is well ard mate....

I had the opposite problem on my FXR150 when I had Mrs Oakie on pillion and rode for more than 25 minutes. I'd hop off the bike and be numb from the waist down for a few moments. Best part though was when it started to wear off as I'd go all tingly from the waist down and if I was walking it felt like someone was touching me in an inappropriate manner.

ouch sounds like early sciatic problems... I'd 'watch that' if it starts getting 'worse' over time... could be positional, but a position shouldnt 'pinch' impinge a nerve root

Narrow 'banana' seats, huh? How ironic... :lol:

whats with al lthe repeat links to the same article?,and wtf has a corbin seat got to do with bmw

[Oakie]

ouch sounds like early sciatic problems... I'd 'watch that' if it starts getting 'worse' over time... could be positional, but a position shouldnt 'pinch' impinge a nerve root

I think it was just a result of me having to sit forward where the seat was thinner allowing the frame to press on nerves somewhere. Hasn't been a problem in subsequent bikes.

Come on guys, this is a very Hard situation to Tackle, he is facing Stiff opposition from BMW who are possible trying to Stroke the court of public opinion who have been Ridged with these types of things. No one will face any time in a Penile institution, its more likely they will be punished by community service like learning to play the Organ or an other Harder Instrument no of them will be made to learn butchery or handle raw Meat for fear they will receive a Pounding. :bounce:

Seriously though ... having a perpetual horn could be terrible at times. Off the top of my head, you wouldn't want one:
> while hugging a grieving widow at a funeral
> in the communal shower after the gym
> while getting your prostate check up
> while doing anything at all involving sheep
> while looking at a picture of Helen Clark
> in the Honda shop

BMWs are for those with impeccable taste. Often looking for a bike a cut above the rest, ready to rock for their demanding applications...
