Well, it finally happened
Enough near misses turned into a collision
T-boned on the bike this evening
As predicted it happened on the Kinsale Road between the Kinsale Road and the Tramore road.
At the Harvey Norman junction
I'm fine thankfully, she hit the cargo bay and no damage to the bike

This might be a little bit too adventurous for getting to Galway on the 30th.
