Looks like I'll be without the cruiser for a while. Early this AM on my way home, While traveling@ 40MPH (which is rare for me) in a very suburban area, I had a deer dart out of the trees and introduce itself to the front end of my cruiser. I was in the right lane and the trees were no further than 10-12 Feet from the road. One second it was not there, and the next second it was there. I hit my brakes, with absolutely NO CHANCE of stopping. The deer tumbled and rolled for about 120 feet and was down for the count. I can't open the hood yet because its sprung too badly. I drove it the 2 miles home with no power steering. I couldn't see any trans fluid or oil leaking so I drove it home. Went back & got the incident report, and calles the insurance co this AM. It makes me sick just to look at it. There is still some fur embedded in the pass side headlight and driver side grill. I look at it and wonder if it'll ever be the same again [xx(] .....
