    Take off any extra keys you dont need. I only have car and house keys. The rest are in the cup holder.

    What I was going to say.

    I have three sets of keys.

    Disco keys
    House keys
    Work keys.

    I only take what I need when I go out. Not only does it stop the keys rattling but if you lose one set then you don't lose them all.

    Why take the car keys if you aren't taking the car for example?

    ^^Me too.
    I just have a single key for the car with a bit of hootchie string on it. Got into the habit with the bikes because you don't want a bundle of keys rattling around on the headstock. Besides all the weight of a big bunch of keys is what destroys ignition tumblers.
    Try it, you'll adapt pretty quick.

    Happened to me a couple of years ago. Very costly & inconvenient! Now only have the Rover key. (Not that you'd notice keys rattling anyway)
