I used to keep my alarm fob on the ignition key ring.

Then I went on a very long, very wet ride around wales. My alarm keyfob got soaking wet and then it stopped working. Luckily I'd put the alarm into service mode before the keyfob packed up due to the water ingress so I was able to ride home.

Hence now why I keep the alarm fob on my lanyard inside my jacket so the fob doesnt get wet.

Yet more proof that alarms are more hassle than they are worth :( Shame that for high risk areas/bikes/people they are compulsory.

Really hope my next bike doesnt have to have one - the ignition immobiliser on the Zed is nice and easy to operate - just put the key in the ignition :D

He did eventually. It dryed out and it started working again. I'm glad my alarm is an immobiliser first. TBH I very rarely activate the alarm bit...only when I'm at work I do

Just bike key.

Although... is it just me, or do you get your bike key out, then get geared up with all the waterproof over suits and whatnot, then realise your house key is under about three layers of clothing and have to start all over again?

Bike key, Padlock Key, Disc Lock Key and Other Random Padlock key.

Personally I hate my ignition barrel. The perfect finish on my top yoke made me ill and the noise they make when going over rough ground is sweet music :)

For me, its ignition key, petrol tank key (had the ignition barrel swapped a while back cause the garage blamed it on my being unable to start the bike, I knew no better), disc lock key, big chain key, little chain key, little rubber fob thing from oxford - useful for chewing on when unlocking the shed.

All other keys (house, shed, car, etc) are on a completely separate set of keyrings, which generally sit in my jacket pocket, or the tankbag).

The gentle marks on the yoke add a little bit of class, along with all the muck thats protecting the metalwork underneath... ;)
