Is That Thing Diesel?

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 fk!

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? Preferably without getting hit by a semi-trailer full of bridge parts. Is he out of his mind? Quite possibly.

Embark on a rollickingly, 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 biofuel. Carter is back to his old balls-to-the-wall style of writing, prepare to laugh out loud.

Is That Thing Diesel? offers an exhilarating ride alongside Paul Carter, as he takes readers on this incredible journey filled with humour, adventure, and the thrill of pushing limits.
