    Hi all,

    Just thought I would say hello as I've not been on the site for a long time, as I broke my femur and it has taken nearly 3 years to heal and I have not been riding or having anything much to do with bikes....

    But that is all in the past and I'm back!

    I have still got my Blade and have started riding again.

    And I have a question that has always bugged me about my 2010 Blade. Is it normal for the fuel light to stay on for a while after filling up?
    I like to fill up and re-set the trip, but find I have to wait until I have ridden off down the road before the light goes out....annoying!!

    I had a double break in the right femur and had a nail inserted....unfortunately for me, the bottom screws have broke and moved downwards. This has caused no end of pain and hassle!

    Welcome mate. I also had a lay off after injuries. It is normal for the light to stay on a bit after filling up or at least mine also does it.

    Welcome back, if no one is going to ask then I will, was your injury bike related?

    I got the impression it was a track accident but could be wrong

    Martin that picture looks too familiar for my liking!!

    I was doing loads of track days and getting pretty quick on my bike......
    And then one day I was on the road traveling about 20 mph past a queue of stationary cars and some teenage kid decided to U-turn in front of me without looking!
    I hit the side of the car and my leg was crushed between the handle bars and petrol tank...ouch
    I didn't even have time to hit the brakes. The first I knew about it was I was laying on the floor with my right foot next to my right shoulder
    I remember thinking, this doesn't look right!

    There was a picture on this site a few years back on the cbr600rr bike upside down on the road

    If I can work out how to put pictures up again I will post it up
