Man Sues BMW, Blames Motorcycle for Embarrassing Problem
Published at | Updated at
ROBERTO SCHMIDT/AFP/Getty Images(SAN FRANCISCO) — San Francisco biker Henry Wolf has sued BMW, claiming his 1993 motorcycle from the German manufacturer has left him with an erection lasting two years.
In paperwork filed in San Francisco Superior court, the San Francisco Gate reports Wolf is claiming “mental and emotional anguish” because the bike’s “ridged seat” left him with a “severe case of priapism” — or an erection that can’t subside — after he took a four-hour motorcycle trip.
Wolf maintains he’s suffered wage loss and racked up medical bills from his condition. He’s seeking an unknown amount in damages.
Working in BMW’s favor is the fact that the seat wasn’t made by the manufacturer. It was added later by the claimant.
