I accidently locked the door of my Jeep Rubicon with the key in the ignition and running. That won't ever happen again. Because you can't lock a Jeep hood I have a key stashed in the engine bay so I can always get in if that crap ever happened again.
With the ease of stealing a bike I just don't bother to lock them. When away from home I'm usually camping right next to it at night so jacking it will be a problem for whoever is trying it.

Mine didn't come with a second fob when i bought it from a non-HD dealer. Thought about getting another one but just another thing to lose. I set up the security code with the blinkers. That'll get me going again to the nearest dealer if the fob gets lost.

When my wife and I travel, she carries a spare key for my bike and I carry a spare key for hers. One time this came in handy. After locking the bikes up for the night, I dropped the keys for my bike and proceeded to stomp on the fob destroying it. I used the spare she was carrying to turn off the security system. (It would not have been a disaster, I could have used the turn signal system to disarm the thing, but it was convenient.) dropping a key down a sewer could be a disaster and disaster is easily avoided by having a spare key when you are a thousand miles from home.

A most definite yes. As I see it, if I am on a trip and I loose my key, what good does it do if my spare key is at home. Actually, I always take my spare key no matter how short or long my trip is. I lock up my bike no matter where I go, hard to unlock it if I loose my key and don't have my spare.
