Cheap Motorcycle Seats Save Money but Cause Problems

Never underestimate the importance of having a comfortable, reliable motorcycle seat. On long trips, or even just in stop-and-go traffic, a good motorcycle seat can be the difference between a relaxing ride and permanent damage, just ask Henry Wolf.

Henry Wolf and His Two Year Long Erection!!

A few years ago, Wolf says he was riding his 1993 BMW motorcycle on back-to-back two hour rides along the California coastline. At the end of these rides, Wolf claims that he was immediately struck with a severe case of priapism, which is just a technical term for a persistent, lasting erection.

In a strange turn of events, this erectile condition lasted for two years! Because of this, Wolf says that he was forced to file a lawsuit. According to his official court documents, the “Plaintiff now suffers from priapism (a long lasting erection), and has been experiencing continuing problems since his motorcycle ride. He is now unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish. Plaintiff is distraught and distressed because of this.”

But what exactly does Wolf contribute his condition to?? Well, Wolf says it was caused by “the ridge-like seat on his motorcycle, negligently designed, manufactured and/or installed by [the] defendants.” That’s right; cheap seats can actually be dangerous!

It’s Not Uncommon for Cheap Motorcycle Seats to Cause Problems

Without a doubt, this case of priapism is not a condition that any of us want (at least I don’t think it is). Unfortunately, though, Rushlane Auto News tells us that this type of occurrence is not all that unusual.

Journalist Sagar Patel says, “This is not the first time motorcycle riding has been linked to such problems. However, in most cases it has been seen that there may be a direct link between motorbike seat design and problems regarding infertility and impotency. Vibrations caused by the bike coupled with configurations of the seat are said to be the crux of the matter.”

Avoid Potential Problems with a Comfortable, Reliable Aftermarket Seat

Fortunately, there is a wide selection of aftermarket motorcycle seats available to die-hard riders. On our website, you can browse through dozens of variations that feature a number of different features, including back supports, multiple color and size schemes, and all of today’s top seat materials. As any rider knows, investing in a comfortable seat is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. So, don’t hesitate to grade your upgrade because nobody wants to become the next Henry Wolf!
