I know, I know, how could I be so stupid, but it happened. I've lost all my keys. What are my options?

or he's going to really going to scrub his existence looking for a lost one when he sees the tab he's facing
pm monstermash i think he can re flash yours
Seriously? When's the last time this bike was ridden? did you move recently? Do you have small children?
Retrace your steps otherwise it's gonna cost you.
You loose...
its not so bad anymore. Monstermash (I believe)or Desmoporsche (sp) can help.
Speeddog at Valley Ducati tells me he can make me new keys by sending him my instrument cluster and ignition switch, but I can't seem to get him to write me back.

I FOUND MY KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I put a note under my pillow last night saying "Find my key" and this morning I got a call that it was stuck between the seat and the console of my friend's car. I'm doing the jump up and down happy dance!
So thanks to all of you that helped, and a big armpit fart to those of you who made fun of me!

Any plans to make a dozen duplicates and attach them to Clap-on/Clap-offs?
Or one of those things they have gas station restroom keys hooked to.

You're welcome!(http://www.thespeedtriple.com/Forums/Smileys/default/slap.gif)
when i got my bike it didnt come with a red key or a card with the code on it....the only thing to do is hope i never lose it? or should i just weld it right into the ignition and put a padlock around the front tire?(j/k to the last part.)
While you still have a key, buy one of the Silca KW17T5 cloneable key blanks and get your key cloned, even better get two of them and get it done before you lose your only key.

cheapest i could find but i think ill wait till winter to be without a key for a couple weeks
If you get the blank and can find a local locksmith with the right equipment, it takes about half an hour. The equipment is also used for several automobile keys so it shouldn't be too hard to find a locksmith with the right machine - Ilco/Silca RW2, RW3 or RW4 and probably others.
edit - I cloned my RED key this way and it works great.
so any of you nh riders know of a locksmith with the right equip?

No kidding...you should have gone and had an extra one made when you lost your second one. Use your noggin...that is what is there for. :P
I tracked down the locksmith here by just randomly calling one or two. I think there is an underground network because they gave me names of locksmiths that they 'thought' could do it and shortly I had found one with the right equipment - he didn't know he could do Ducati keys so you need to ask if they have the right cloning machine. I watched the guy do it, he had to break out the manual because he hadn't done a Ducati key. The manual listed Jaguar, Volvo - several Euro car entries.
Don't Ducati dealerships have the capability of cloning keys?
A Ducati shop could have a clone machine, but that is not the official way that Ducati does keys. You'll either need your red key so official Ducati keys can be programmed into your bike or you'll need to buy new gauges, ignition switch, ecu and seat lock to get a new red key and key set. You can call your Duc shop and ask.
