Default Keys

I see a lot of bikes in the morning that are just using thier bike key in the ignition with no other keys attached. I have House, pushbke and key to my mums on theres as well, that way i know where they are.

What about you and why?

Ignition key only - don't wreck (scratch) the top yoke etc. Other keys are firmly kept in the pocket.

Just the bike key.

A) If theres to much weight you can knacker the ignition barrel.

B) I hate the jingling noise of key

C) Dont want to damage the top yoke

I got a nice soft leather key pouch from China off eBay, where you fold out the key you want and the rest are protected inside. Bit like what you used to see in the 70's but classier lol It tucks down behind the cables while on the bike to prevent scratches.

I have just the one, then that way I have half a chance of finding a key to something else if i lose them!

I've got the key to the bike, key to the chain (small one I carry with the bike) and immobiliser fob on mine. House keys always go either in a particular pocket, or a particular place in the house.
