Where to Locate a Spare Key??

[FredandJeannesRacer]

I have a belt with a secret compartment on the inside. If I get taken, my pants fall down.

I just duct taped one to the inside of the front wheel when I mounted the new PR2 Michelin, 164 degrees forward of the valve stem (90 degree of course!) Filled the tire with nitrogen to reduce corrosion, electrolisis and carry a full tool kit with tire irons in a fanny pack. So....if the need arises, all I need to do is yank the front wheel,dismount the tire, retrieve the key, remount & balance the tire (yes...I have all the necessary equipment/tools/wheel weights & compressed nitrogen in my fanny pack-tool kit) I actually keep a spare key & duct tape in the fanny pack/tool kit to replace the one I've removed from the inside of the wheel, should I happen to misplace another one!

Most locksmiths sell small key-sized cordura pouches that have adhesive mounted velcro on one side for just such purposes. Or, Amazon does, too:

They are thin and flexible, increasing the number of places they can be hidden on the bike.

Not that I use one. I swallow a key before I ride.

Not entirely sarcastic, but I often leave the main key in the ignition. With as many farkles as I have on the bike doing long-distance riding....I think neer-do-gooders look at the bike a bit like something Mel Gibson would be driving to the Thunderdome and just don't bother. And my spare key is hanging on a retractor on my tank bag so when I refuel I don't even take my ignition key out.

When I need to leave the bike to go sleep in some place with four walls I take the tank bag with me...and the ignition key. If I lose both of those...I've got far bigger things to worry about than getting the bike started.

What key? I have voice-activated ignition... "Motorcycle ON!" Doesn't everybody? :huh:

(Actually, I keep a spare for bike & Givi trunk in a pouch around my neck.)

I often leave the main key in the ignition.

Ditto, i rarely take it out. I'm less likey to lose it if it stays in the bike and I have the ugliest FJR so it'll be the last to be stolen.
I also have a key in the arm pocket of the stich (same pocket as gas cards) ..so that I don't have to take the key out of the ignition at gas stops. I have another key hidden on the bike somewhere but I can't remember ...but sure if forced to, I'd figure it out.

Long trips ....I do the same as dcarver ....swap spare key with someone. I also do this "swap" with copies of important documents, credit cards and even cash if riding south of the USA

BTW, am I the only one that comes home from a loong, multi day ride, cold and tired --to discover that you forgot the garage door opener and house key? ...Way too many times here. That is the key that I really ought to have on the bike.

You could put it where the junkies put their stash. :blink:

 

[madmike2]

The extra set of keys is in the left front pocket of my riding pants.

On long trips, I have another set on a lanyard around my neck.

For a little added protection for keys how about this trick.

why not write down the key blank number and take a key and trace around it and have a couple of the traced patterns in your wallet. All a locksmith has to do is get the blank and you supply the key cut pattern and you now have a new key. just in case you lose both keys. Carry it in your wallet ,tank bag, or just about any where..

Never leave home with out it.. And a sure way to always to be able to have a key made with or with out the key

Dammit, I bet they know our favorite kinds of scotch now, too... :swoon:

That would be the ones that taste like equine bladder flush, right? :****:

 

[Bustanut joker]

I keep a spare in my Shaved anus.

[Groo]

Now that I've finished dousing my brain with lye to get Busta's mental image scrubbed out... :blink:

I keep a spare in my pocket. For longer trips, I have another in my tank bag on a lanyard so it won't fall out while at gas stops and such.

 

[ShinyPartsUp]

On a hot day leave it in the freezer until you ride, then put it next to your nut sack. Helps you wake up and you don't forget where you put it.

yes I'm joking

 

[RenoJohn]

in my Shaved anus.

[Capt. Bob]

I'd be more worried about it ticklin' my prostate and riding around with a **** eating grin on my face. Anybody that saw me would know right where I hid that spare. :blink:
