POWERFUL STUFF: Man Sues BMW After Bike Ride Gives Him A 20 Month Erection

A California man has sued BMW North America and a motorcycle-seat maker claiming that a four-hour round-trip ride on his 1993 BMW bike with a "ridge-like" seat gave him "a severe case of priapism (a persistent, lasting erection)" that's lasted 20 months and counting.

While there have been concerns about narrow "banana" bike seats causing loss of feeling in that area -- for men and women -- this is the first report we've seen of way too much.

Only in America. Id like to kick that dumb ass in the erection. Really? people get away with suing for the stupidest things all the time but If I were hit and paralized by a drunk driver I wouldn't get $hit from the insurance company, and what I did get wouldn't even cover medical bills.
