Yeah and I learned my lesson on that - cost me about $100 to replace fob, key, and get fob programmed.

Only good thing was I learned how to punch in the codes real quick!

Fob and key go in my pocket. I have a single key that i keep on my wallet chain incase i loose the fob so I can still unlock the Ignition, saddlebags, tour pak. Set pin and practice the security over ride.

Ditto, with one of their fancy little swivel clips with the MoCo logo on it. It was a cheap little trinket from behind the apparel counter.
The spare sets in an office cabinet at home in the title folder.

home is exactly where it should be. If you lose, damage, or battery drains on your FOB you carry with you.. well if you don't know how to enter your pin to start your bike and get home then you deserve to be sitting on the side of the road. Take responsibility for your own actions guys...

otherwise you could always hang it from the zip tie on your handlebars!

Kinda defeats the purpose of having the security system to leave the fob on the bike...

I keep my key and fob on an one ring that goes in my pocket when on the bike . The rest of my keys I throw in the tour pack or glove box on the lowers. If traveling I have an extra key that my wife carries and I know my code and how to use it.

...and I keep a spare battery in the TourPak, so dead battery is never an issue.

Extra key:

Riding from home, i.e. local, day rides, etc., it is at home in a basket on my dresser.

Going on a trip with the wife, it is in her purse, and her spare is in my pocket, she rides her own.

On road trips I lace the spare set on my boot. Normal riding it is either in my pocket or on a neck lanyard.

In my pocket. BTW I wonder just how many people with bikes equipped with this system just thought to themselves, "There is a code?" That kind of defeats the whole security system thing.

Sometimes we think things to death ... It's a security device, right? On the road with Ol' Gal she's got one and I've got one clipped on the belt ... Out on my own the second one is always on the dresser and the code ( yes there is a code to defeat the system. If you haven't changed the code to your own number you're asking for trouble.) is tattooed inside my left eyelid. What could be simpler?
