Is That Thing Diesel?: One man, one bike and the first lap around Australia on used cooking oil by Paul Carter

AT FORTY YEARS OLD, a successful writer, husband and father, no longer
toiling on offshore drilling rigs, was Paul Carter happily nestled in the
cotton wool of suburban life enjoying the fruits of his labour? Was he f**k!

With his manic life left far behind and the perfect opportunity to
take it easy, what else would a middle-aged, bike-obsessed man want? 

Yes, that's right, he'd want to be the first guy to ride around
Australia on an underpowered experimental motorcycle that
runs on used cooking oil, wouldn't he? Preferably without
getting hit by a semi-trailer full of bridge parts.
Is he out of his mind?

Quite possibly.

Embark on a rollicking, downright dangerous and often
unhinged quest that starts on an environmentally friendly
motorcycle built on a shoestring budget by students,
and ends with a plan to break the motorcycle land
speed record for bio-fuel.

CARTER IS BACK TO HIS OLD BALLS-TO-THE-WALL STYLE
