I usually use the stove knob for everything, although lately I have begun to use the fob key. I have an idea though for a ground breaking innovation that would eliminate the need to dig the fob out of the pocket and remove the little key. It would work for both the ignition and the bags and would eliminate the need to carry a fob. I'm going to call it...a key.
Not all of us.

I think sometime in the next 50 years, something bad is going to happen to me and we will all know I never should have taken the ign. key out in the first place.Well, I took it out and got leukemia a week later... so remove it at you own risk . Ha ha.

Seriously, decided to use it exclusively. I'm already used to turn the bike off at 'FSS', for fueling, etc. And when at a restaurant or something, will just throw it in a pocket or something. One of the 'new' 2014 bikes I looked at had ignition/key damage due to somebody thinking he needed more force to turn the key. If the key is left in the ignition while on a trip, it might attract attention not just from thieves, but from somebody wanting to go for a joy ride... and ruin your trip if he tries too hard to turn the key and either breaks it inside, and/or damages the ignition. But that's just me .

I just remembered that I used it once to open petrol cap and twisted the key badly. Straightened it and thought best not risk breaking it, that's was the last time it took it out.
If the key twisted, your petrol cap lock is in some serious need of lubrication. Use graphite. All my locks turn very easily. Simple quick maintenance.
