Well, I always said that BMW riders like to feel impotent (important). He obviously bought more than he could deal with, some people should be so lucky. BMW should ask for more money, dual sport never had such a meaning before...................

Can you put one of those seats on a Super Tenere? Asking for a friend.

Don't see how it's a BMW issue, he is sueing Corbin as well. I wonder how he's spinning the story to blame the bike manufacturer too.

This happened in 2012. The lawsuit was dismissed, and the plaintiff lost his appeal in 2015, and he was ordered to pay the legal costs for Corbin and BMW. The plaintiff's attorney was also subsequently suspended for stealing $100,000 from an unrelated client. If you want more info, you can google "Henry Wolf lawsuit".

I figured I'd post this to show that when these stories come out about outrageous lawsuits being filed, the actual outcome is a lot closer to this.

The fact that it was even filed is just one more example of what's wrong with society. The fact that it was dismissed, in such a manner, gives me hope. ::001::

Filing lawsuits isn't a sample of what's wrong with society, it's simply a symbol of a society that has a legal system. People have been suing each other for frivolous and ridiculous reasons since before the Magna Carta; it's not some invention of the modern world. One of the origins of the Hatfield-McCoy feud was a lawsuit over a pig, and that was in the 1870's. There's never been a time in US history when people weren't suing each other over the stupidest of reasons; there's just more people now, and what was once an item in a local paper now gets blasted all over social media so people can feel cathartically outraged over the state of society.

You know who pushes hardest for tort reform? Big insurance companies, because they want the ability to restrict a person's right to sue, and they want a hand in deciding whether or not your lawsuit has merit even before it reaches a court. And also big corporations like Ford or GM, because they'd really like it if you couldn't easily sue them just because one of their products failed and killed some people. Frankly, I don't want a company like Ford Motors or Hartford of Connecticut having any influence over deciding if my lawsuit has merit.

Most of these outrageous lawsuits get tossed out at the lower levels of the court, but that rarely gets reported. Or else the actual facts of the case (like the McDonalds coffee lawsuit) get tremendously distorted in the media because outrage sells.

You're right. But, it's still wrong.

Yep!

4 hour erection?? BMW - Bring More Women??

 

[hogmolly]

I believe the new BMWs only come with 2 viagra's and an owners card in the toolkit these days. Maybe the rider got confused and used his emergency pills?
