I keep my passive fob tucked right in my bra. They are the handiest things for storing items. Spare money, house key, fobs, cell phones, and sometimes even some left over food. That comes in especially handy on the long days on the road when hunger sets in!   ;D

All that extra storage is well and good but I think that every guy here would agree with me when I say that we love what those things were originally designed to hold.    :P

I think perhaps we need a bra thread where the bras can be ranked for storage abilities by brand etc. So does one normally get a cup size larger for extra storage capacity?..if so what happens when there is nothing "extra" to store (i. e. Nicole eats the Milky Way bars she had in there at a rest stop) do the remaining storagee's move around in all that extra space until storage gets restocked?

Hey Jim,

Maybe you should meld this and the 'bouncy feeling' thread. They seem to be getting closer. ?

Err, getting back to the Passive FOB.

I like the idea of keeping it in the tool tray under the seat, and have a spare key on my truck keychain...

NOTE: I don't worry about loosing my truck or house keys as I have spares.
          But, {like many of you} I worry about loosing the main FOB.
               Primarily because I know it would be hard/expansive to replace.

So, I came up with this idea.....
I keep my FOB in a leather keychain similar to this.

{I have keys to the trunk and bag/seat on the keychain, and the FOB Fits nicely into the pocket on the left side}.

Recently I had a brainstorm and added it to that keychain.
I had a dog tag made at Walmart, that might increase the odds of getting the FOB back if lost...

That is not a bad idea at all.  Most people would be willing to return something, even with no reward, if they knew to whom and it was easy.  But almost nobody labels keys.  If one wanted to go super-cheap, one could even just put a tape laminated sticker on the back saying "call XXXXXX."

My spare active fob (08 so dont have a passive only one) lives at my girlfrieds house.

If by some random act of god I was to lose my main one (which is kept inside a zipped pocket used for nothing else on my high viz jacket and never comes out, I just use the stove key fro opening the panniers as designed, yes I know some would advise against that but hey I'm a rebel!!) ) I guess I would just have to call the AA/RAC /whoever I'm currently with and get the bike trailered home.(Unless I was relatively close in which case I'm sure she would come out unless she was with me lol).

I usually keep it in my wallet. There's a little coin pouch in some Diesel branded bi-folds that is just the right size for it.

Ok. A bra it is. Might be able to get the 9mm in there too. Now to see if the wife will share.

That's a real good idea on the dog tag.  My fob lives on a chain.  The only way it goes missing is if I lose my pants and belt.

I keep my spare fob under the seat, wrapped in tin foil or in an EZ-PASS shielded zip-lock bag (the bag the pass came in.) When go on trips two-up, my passenger carries it in her zippered pocket. I have spare metal keys on my keychain, and one duct-taped under the plastic in case of emergency.

When I can not lock my gear in my cases, I lock them to the bike. I have two cables, similar to this:


I run the cable through the sleeve of the jacket, and lock it to the bike with a gun-lock. Most folks who own guns have several of these kicking around:


I can also use the gun lock alone to lock my helmet to the side rack supports while it's sitting on my pillion seat.

All the cables and the gun lock are small enough to fit in the tank compartment with room to spare.

I keep my passive fob in an inside pocket of my riding jacket and my bigger main fob in my pants pocket.  For me personally I'd never keep either of the fobs anywhere on the bike itself.
