Henry Wolf filed suit in San Francisco Superior Court against BMW North American and Corbin-Pacific, Inc., claiming that the "ridged seat" on his bike gave him priapism, a medical consisted in which the penis becomes erect and does not become flaccid for a long period. Apparently, Wolf's penis remained erect for two years. Gives crotch rockets a whole new meaning. From SF Gate:
Wolf said he rode the motorcycle in San Francisco on a four-hour round trip on May 1, 2010 and developed the priapism soon after.
Wolf "has been experiencing continuing problems since his motorcycle ride," his attorney, Vernon Bradley of Sausalito wrote in the lawsuit. "He is now unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish."
