Other then some positive comments about the locals and some custom-problems I don't know much about her crossing.
There are at least one female rider who got the transit-visa earlier then Benka Pulko but she didn't cross Saudi, she needed it for the ferry to/from Jeddah.
Back in the 70/80s s a single Norwegian female crossed Saudi in a car, I think she also went from Qatar to Yemen and back.
But still I think it's extremely hard to get the visa when traveling on a bike. I have tried several times with pretty good contacts. It's even harder if you are female.
