Interesting subject for the picture. I would have placed that right in the cupholder. That’s thinking inside the (glove) box.
Oh I’m right there with you.
I’ve been perusing the forums for months and it seems last year-ish the FZs got bumped up to the same category as supersport bikes due to a high number of write-offs... my quotes were between $1700 and $3500 for full coverage. Absolutely bonkers.
