I only have bike related keys on the key ring (ignition and 2 locks)

If you're worried about leaving keys in the bike, get a coiled key ring thing:

I used to dispatch ride around London on an RD250. The ignition barrel was quite worn and one day I got to a drop off, went to turn the engine off with the key and... it wasn't there. No idea when it had vibrated out but spent the rest of the day just using the kill switch to switch the bike off and hoping no one noticed the ignition was still on while I dropped off.
After that I used one of those coiled things and attached it to either my gloves or zip. If it pinged out again, I wouldn't lose it and whenever I got off, you were attached to the bike so remembered to remove the key.
