As a big fan of the 'ol two-wheeled classics. I found myself jumping for joy this morning when I ran across the following headline...PSA: Report says motorcycle seats not responsible for impotence, erectile dysfunction!

Having spent more hours than I care to remember straddling various pieces of American iron, I for was was relieved. Although, I guess that is one less excuse for me to use...

Anyway, according to a study presented by Randall Dale Chipkar the subtle vibrations caused by modern motorcycles does not cause impotence, erectile dysfunction disorder, or cancer. But, that doesn't mean that those of us who have graduated up to two-wheelers are out of the woods just yet.

"Subtle groin vibrations increase blood flow and are actually stimulating not debilitating on our tissues. Regular motorcycle seat vibration is not going to damage penile nerves," Chipkar adds.

If the problem isn't vibration and pressure on your unspeakable nether-regions, what could possibly cause you harm?

Well, according to the report, low frequency electromagnetic fields, apparently, which seem to be generated by the electrical bits on modern machinery. If it ain't onething it always seems to be another...

I for one will continue to wear my tin-foil lined underwear while riding just to be on the safe side.
