Do you have anything interesting as a keytag on your motorcycle key? Here's mine:

Got this Suzuki tag on eBay right after I purchased my GS.

Nice!!! Awesome idea for a thread.
I unfortunately don't have anything spectacular on my GS key... just one of those stretchy rubber spiral wrist thingys.
I have a neat key for the Turtle Van however... will have to take a picture of it :)
could always get a turtle keychain for the turtle van. or a chain/fob for something the exact opposite. i did have a plate frame from a ferrari dealership on a beat to sh*t toyota camry. ( most trustworthy car ever) i could throw a battery in it and drive it today.

I used to macrame parachute cord lanyards, got some nice black on retro-reflective 550-cord for that, I actually use it to replace all the zipper pulls for my riding gear.
Haven't made or used a lanyard/keytag in quite some time, though.
Right now the only thing opposite my bike key is the key for my disk-lock... If I make another lanyard I'll upload a pic.
I like the "insert before flight". Lots of riders use the "remove before flight" and that doesn't make ANY sense on the ignition.
I want a "RBF" tag on my disk lock, though. The colored reminder cable between the lock and the throttle grip does the job, but an RBF tag would be cooler.
Nice ShowBiz!

Yeah I had to search around for a bit, at first I just saw "remove before flight" everywhere and thought the same thing. Nice idea for the disk lock though!
OK. Here goes.

I ordered some of those "insert before flight" tags but in the mean time I made this guy.

Just a boring old carabiner for me. Easier to clip/unclip onto my belt loop with gloves on. Only problem is it rattles on the top of the tank, so I'm thinking of switching it out with something else. I've got a couple of those paracord keytags that I've made laying around somewhere.

The whole reason I got my leather mythosaur keytag was because the metal cylinder thing that came with the key when I got it rattled too much. I wanted something larger (so i wouldnt lose the key) but soft so it wouldn't rattle.

I've honestly never understood why you'd leave the key ON the carabiner but I see many people do that.
For me, I have a large screw-gate carabiner on my belt (I'm always worried about it working itself off while riding so I like to screw it down). On the carabiner are my keys, on my keys are lanyards/tags.
Big carabiner is easy to handle with gloves on, key tags make getting keys off of it easy with gloves.

The only one without a tag is my house key. I usually take my whole carabiner off to get in the house and then I toss it on my desk.
Also, I hate to be boring but I went with the black insert tag as well.
I ordered a pack with 5 different colors; Iwas hoping to use the yellow one but it just didn't look good on the side of my Buell. Black/Gold so I thought yellow might be close. The gold is more orangy, though.
I've got a separate one for my truck and one for my bike. Another with all of my spare keys on it, and a house key on each. That prevents me from taking all of my keys with me wherever I go.
Oh, this is a fun thread!
Can't wait to get home to share mine! ;D

Donatello was my favourite. I have the tags off my black and sand Timberlands as the keychain:
