Is That Thing Diesel?: One Man, One Bike and the First Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil - Couverture souple
Synopsis
In the spirit of Ewan and Charlie's Long Way Round, another hilarious, high-octane, seat-of-the-pants adventure from the slightly crazy Paul Carter circumnavigating Australia on a biodiesel motorcycle At 40 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 labor? Not likely. With his manic life left far behind and the perfect opportunity to take it easy stretched before him 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? He embarks on a rollicking, often unhinged, and downright dangerous 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 biofuel. Lovely irony--the ride is sponsored by oil companies. Carter is back to his old balls-to-the-wall style of writing, so readers should prepare to laugh out loud.
