    I have two seperate keyrings, one for the bike and the other for everything else.
    Bike keyring includes: ignition key, key to unlock fairing pocket, key to unlock hard bags, 2 barrel keys to fasten hard bags onto the brackets, old keyfob from Lynnwood Motoplex, where I bought the bike, snap hook to hang keys on my belt loop when not in use.
    Other keyring includes, car keys, house and shop keys, keys I use at work, leather keyfob I made from an old boot lace, round multi screwdriver thing which comes in handy sometimes. This keyring stays in my pocket when not in use.
    I have lost many things over the years, but in all of my life I have yet to lose a keyring. (knocking on wood) Can anyone else say that?

    My bike's just got the bike key, a small carabiner, and a lucky penny (can't hurt, right?)

    My regular keys have all my keys on one of those double rings that splits in the middle. One end has a remote unlock, two car keys and a Pogues bottle opener. The other end has my house key, a trailer air-line lock key, a parking lot gate key, key to my mom's house, two keys for my dad's place, and three keys (one door and two padlocks) for my band's practice space.

    85 XJ700 Maxim: one key, no ring.
    75 R90S: one key, no ring.
    in my pocket, a micro swiss army knife, holding 1 house key, 1 mailbox key, 1 airplane key (Grumman AA5 Traveler), 1 VW Eurovan key.
    I HATE keys, especially those that are huge. No, I never lost a key, but I've misplaced them a few times, on 3 occasions had to break into the house to get the not-lost keys.

    i have 3 rings on a carabiner, one has just my yamaha key, one has just my honda key, and the third has a house key, truck keys, car keys, and a padlock key for the shed, nothing else, who needs all that fancy shtuft hanging down, beating up the ignition, paint when you unlock ur doors, its killer on car doors having then things drag across the paint all the time.

    Polock,
    I like the look of your 'key that isn't a key'. I may replicate it.

    HA, I was going to start a thread about key fobs, as opposed to what is on the fob.
    My bike key is on a heavy duty piece of leather that is fold over so it is twice as thick.
    It is shaped like a paisley pattern and sawn around the edge.
    The small end has the ring through it.
    I have had this fob for 22 years.
    It's been on every bike I've owned since.
    I've crutched my ass through the wrecking yard to retrieve this fob, from my mangled cycle.
    I have no ability to post a pic, I wish I could.
    :D

    My bike key is on a rubber key chain that is the Manitoba flag with my name on it. I had to snatch it up while I was in Winnipeg because it's really hard to find stuff with my name on it.

    My other key ring is a blue caribener with my van key and lock Fob, a Chevy Key chain, a house key, office keys, and a key chain that says World's Greatest Mom.

    My bike key is on a small key chain garage door opener along with just a house key. Makes it easy to get into the garage when I pull up the driveway.
