Single ignition key scenario; Riding home in the dark after a long day with only 100 miles left. No moon, no city lights anywhere, absolutely black; needed to "relieve myself". Do I wait until I get home or make a quick on the side stop? No traffic for a long time, I decided on the latter. Pulled over to the side of the road, turned off the ignition, and the key caught on my glove and pulled out. I heard, klang against metal, several clicks against plastic, but no bonk on the tarmac. It took me 15 minutes to locate the key in the fairing using my cell phone flashlight.
