BMW is lucky the guy didn't have an accident when in "this condition." He could have added "caused distracted riding" to his suit.

You will note, very few BMW riders are delighted with factory saddles. Perhaps it is just modesty that prevents most of us from complaining about the real problem Not too many good words about Corbin saddles either in recent years. So what do us wimps do? We bitch a bit, then spend several hundred dollars on after-market saddles that provide "comfort" as we individually define that term.

Now that we have a leader, maybe we should be looking at a Class Action Suit against BMW for ALL our saddle woes! Yeah, that will fix things! If successful, it will raise the price of new (and used) bikes by several thousand dollars - but hey, it is the principal that matters. A happy butt (and also other nearby anatomical parts) is our RIGHT!

I have a used Corbin seat for sale........fits an R11RS...........$250 buys you years of freedom from the little blue pills.

More proof that anyone can sue anyone else about anything at all. Does remind me of a story of a friend of mine who had prostate surgery and
got a penis pump installed...and found that certain motorcycle seats had a distracting effect on him....

that original article was posted about a year ago.
wonder how it worked out? Given that we never heard anything else on it, i suspect that his case eventually went limp.

The evidence wouldn't stand up in court.

Like Pastorious - he hasn't got a leg to stand on, but at least he still has a spring in his step.

The court probably recognized him as just another hardened criminal.

I rode to Hollister last week and had a one-piece seat installed on my 2003 R1150RS - the techs there said they had a great laugh about it at the time - not heard anything since.

Please note that Corbin no longer offers the Erection Option on their seats...:-(
