On the way to work this morning at 0545 it finally happened.
I work on a Naval base in Indiana and to get to work it is 12-13 miles of forest from the gate to the building got within 2 miles of the building and a doe bolted across from the left side while I was running 45 MPH.
Usually, I see them with plenty of time, but the location did not let me see her until it was too late.
Hit her square in the mid-section and was able to bring the trike to a stop without further incident.
Fortunately, I escaped without a scratch but slightly shook up. Coffee was not needed for a while.
She did not fare so well.
I expect it will be months before I get the bike back from the shop with all the problems with getting parts.
Had to take the fender off to get it home.
Now to wait on Insurance to do their thing.
Be Safe out there
