"Same fate" referring to being sold off, or crashing? I seem to recall one of your ST's was in a crash... can't recall if it was you or your wife now? It's been a minute.

Mine also was wrecked, struck a deer in WV (unsure if you recall that and if that's what you are referencing?). Hit a pregnant doe. Didn't go down, but caused $5k in damage. Continued the trip with bent forks and the right side plastics torn off and the battery held in with zip ties...

I was referring the deer hit you had. I thought it was totaled, but I guess I miss remembered that detail. I do recall you telling me about it.

I've always credited you as the first Tenere owner I polled in my effort to understand what happens when a Tenere hits a large animal (deer and kangaroo). I started that personal inquiry after I totaled my gen1 hitting a deer in Minnesota. The results of that reveled the vast majority of hits result in the Tenere never going down. Yes, i do realize there's an obvious flaw to my survey, but I'm going to go with those results.

So the deer I hit was a pregnant doe, and in her death convulsions she birthed out the premature fetus.

Probably one of the grossest things I've ever seen.

So here's a picture!!!!

Yep, that's pretty unpleasant.

I've killed multiple deer with vehicles, but so far only one at a time.
