Corbin or BMW's Fault???
I saw this article on my local news' website today and can honestly say I've never heard of such thing...but then again, I'm not a guy, so how would I know....

I don't see anything offensive with the subject matter, but suppose those who are offended also don't watch much TV and see how many ED commercials are shown. This guy has a legitimate health issue that could result in a discovery that he may not be the only one this happened to. Wouldn't you want your riding buddies to know about this if it were in fact a legitimate claim??
It's not like I posted this in the General Forum, but if it gets removed then it gets removed....

Removal may have had something to do with the comments made.

That would make sense. Although I would think that the comments could be removed rather than kill the entire thread.
Thanks for the warnings.

I think in some cases its better to remove the entire thread than to just single out a few offending posts. Only way to know for sure is if the moderator tells why it was removed.

Just decided it was time to move onto other things.

The article doesn't provide enough information. This is the first time I have heard of this type of 'injury' and would be curious to know how it gets settled. Seems like he might also be able to sue his doctor for not being able to alleviate his discomfort after so long, but I'm no expert in that 'region'.

Let's all be careful lest this thread end up like the others; right??

From a medical point of view this is not possible. Nerve damage due to excessive pressure on the indicated portion of the rider would cause exactly the opposite reaction with a loss of function. This is very common in bicycle racers due to the extreme riding position. The effects are usually short term with no long term persistence.
With the above in mind sounds like the rider is looking for a payday from either BMW or Corbin

Sounds to me like he had a Russell Day Long instead of a corbin.

Statistics show that most motorcycle accidents are caused by a defective nut holding the handlbars.

I agree; just the opposite would happen. I used to mountain bike and I read articles about what you said. I ended up buying a seat with a V groove cut from the back of the seat; the small part of the V was in the middle of the seat, which alleviated undue pressure.

It's pretty vague about how long he rode... but you'd think he would have at least bought a cushion or something.
Next thing ya know, somebody else will sue because they didn't get the same result from their bike...
