Is that Bike Diesel, Mate?: One Man, One Bike, and the First Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil

Oi, mate, is that monstrosity diesel? From the author of the bestsellers Don’t Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs, She Thinks I’m a Piano Player in a Whorehouse and This Is Not a Drill, this is the eagerly awaited next installment of Paul Carter’s rollicking life.

Take one mad adventurer and a motorbike that runs on bio fuel (cooking oil i.e. chip fat to you and me) and send them with one filmmaker on a road trip around Australia just to see what happens. What you get is a story full of outback characters, implausible (but true) situations, unlikely events and unfortunate breakdowns, all at a break neck pace. Never one to sit still for long, this is what Paul Carter did next.

Whether you’ve been shocked, delighted, entertained, horrified - or all of the above - by Paul’s stories whether from oil rigs or the road one thing is for sure, they are always high octane adventures.
