First and foremost I gather your 125cc rider is not a "motorcyclist". If he /she is a novice rider then the air wave created by the massive front of the truck will actually push them away. They may very well have countered this by steering back into the truck. This is what I am aware of is the cause of these so called "sucking" accidents.
