Man sues BMW for "persistent erection" after motorcycle ride

SAN FRANCISCO (WBTV) - A California man has filed a lawsuit against a motorcycle maker and a motorcycle seat maker after he claims he suffered injuries that hurt his sexual life.

Henry Wolf, 52, claims he suffered the injury during a four-hour motorcycle ride in May 2010, according to a lawsuit filed in California last week.

The lawsuit says Wolf was riding his 1993 BMW motorcycle, which was fitted with a Corbin-Pacific seat, when he suffered a severe case of priapism - a persistent lasting erection.

"My client has suffered a serious injury; a complete erection for a year and a half," lawyer Vernon Bradley from Sausalito, California told WBTV on Monday afternoon. "Now he suffers from impotency."

Bradley says Wolf got medical opinions from three different doctors, including an expert on priapism from the University of California-San Francisco.

According to the lawsuit, Wolf claims his injury was caused by the "ridge-like seat on his motorcycle" which he claims was "negligently designed, manufactured and/or installed by the defendants."

Wolf claims he's suffered from the long lasting erections for 20-months after the injury occurred.

"He is now unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish," the lawsuit claims.

Wolf is suing BMW North America, the maker of the motorcycle, and Corbin-Pacific Inc, the maker of the motorcycle seat. The lawsuit was filed on April 26 in San Francisco Superior Court in California, requesting a jury trial.

Bradley says Wolf suffered from chronic pain after his injury. Several weeks after his injury, Wolf underwent a procedure in hopes to draw blood away from his genitals in an effort to ease his erection, Bradley said.

Wolf's problem recently changed from non-stop erection to impotency, Bradley says, and he may have to undergo surgery to fix the problem.

Wolf is suing in excess of $25,000 for general negligence and liability.  He is seeking reimbursement for lost wages, hospital and medical expenses, and general damage.

Bradley expects that it could take at least two years before the case goes to trial, but says they are searching for other possible victims.

OMFG! Only in America

Only in America.  Anywhere else they would have said "Sell the Beemer and get something that doesn't give you morning wood for hours!"  .

I was a consultant for a while a few years back.  My main customer contact saw the motorcycle helmet on my onsite workspace, and we struck up a conversation about bikes.  5 minutes later he said, "Well, I had to sell my VTX.  Made me impotent"  He was my age, about 35 years.  I never talked about bikes again with him.   

Ha ha ha classic

That's ridiculous. I think they say an erection lasting more than 4 hours is a cause for medical concern? And this moron had a problem for 20 months?

I hope he loses everything in court. People ride BMW'S with and without Corbin seats everyday and never have a problem. Jackwagon.

The "condition" they are referring to is priapism. I had to look out for it as an EMT the reason was during a car accident it is one of the hall marks of a head injury (ahem not the one your thinking of) or cranial injury LOL! If treated early it doesn't cause permanent damage either.  So, I'm not sure how he can have this condition unless he rides on his cranium!

Also, 20 MONTHS! BMW should not have to pay for his stupidity!

Maybe we should go back to the thread about your "junk" getting all squished up on a bike. Could that be him?

Too often people blame one thing which brought out an underlying medical condition. You'd think he would have noticed something during the 4 hour ride and stopped?

Maybe he was riding one of these?

That picture just reminds me of human centepiede 1 & 2! Yes boys and girls they made a sequel. And I've seen em both

priapism is extremely painful. yes been htere done that. my doc recently began treatment for ED, tried viagra. i got the 4 hour boner, damn that hurt like hell. yeah i know TMFI, first i thought, hmm 4 hour wood, could get laid for that long = fun. but pain is like meh kills mood. then was like hell i dont have a gf anyways so discontinue this treatment. and deal with liver/kidneys first

What you never heard "if you have an erection lasting more than 4 hours call your friends and brag about it"

So would ordering a Corbin seat for my BMW would be cheaper then Viagra in the long run?
