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.The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

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!Beth

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."
