    Good on her for wanting to continue..even after being sucked under a road train!!! I've driven behind many a road train & although the dudes driving them deserve some credit for the job they do..some are not with it...

    WOW that is one tough lady!

    She sure has travelled some miles and on some pretty lonely stretches of Australia.

    Glad she lived to tell the tale.

    Remarkable that she lived to tell the tale, and that she wants to get back on her bike!

    Hope someone fixes her bike for free. Or the trucking company pays for it.

    Good healing juju to the lady!

    no

    Beth..perhaps not..I found the following reply on another forum...

    " Fair chance he didn't know he'd hit her, The rear of the third trailer is 50 metres behind the mirror, and given it sounds like it was in Darwin he might have had a bit to concentrate on with traffic etc. Reading the story she describes the bike being sucked under the trailer so she may have veered to the right by the sound of it."
