I'm thinking that this has more to do with the buzzy engines in most Japanese bikes, which, IIRC, are mainly inline 4s that like the snot revved out of them. Get yourself a single, twin or triple, and you'll likely be better able to off.

Well it does mention "who rode about three hours every weekend", "hard-padded saddle" and has to do with a penis... so I am almost positive we are talking about Harley riders here.

So, what did the the Harley rider say when asked why he rides in a suit?:

"If I'm going to be impotent, I want to look impotent"

I figure 3 hours a weekend is too little, thats the issue.

kinda in the same vein as the bicycles are making you impotent. Only thing they didn't say in the news articles, about the bicycle deal was that their population was guys who rode hundreds of miles a week. Like 400 or 500 miles.

I based the thought that the riders were mainly on Jap bikes based upon "The study by doctors in Japan" I'm guessing that more of them ride domestic than foreign.

This smacks of statistical BS to me. Correlation does not imply causation.

The average motorcyclist in American is 40-60. I don't think they can blame their ED on their H-D.

I'm sure the demo skews differently in Japan, but still...

Hmph. Riding for hours every weekend never kept Mister Happy from coming to attention. Maybe that's because dirt bike Rule No. 1 is 'Get yer ass OFF that seat, boy!'
