Learn moreAt 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 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 bio fuel.
Paul Carter was born in England in 1969. His father's military career had the family moving all over the world, relocating every few years. Paul has been working in the oil exploration industry since he was eighteen years old. In that time he has accumulated a wealth of hilarious and often terrifying stories. At thirty-six he wrote his first book, a bestseller in Australia and with its release in the United States and Europe he has established himself in a new writing career as well as continuing to work on drilling rigs.
