About this listen
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 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. Carter is back to his old balls-to-the-wall style of writing, prepare to laugh out loud.

There were lots of memorable moments. some were laugh-out-loud, some were less so.

Paul himself
Any additional comments?
I am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination but I would have liked a warning about the strong language. Being a woman of mature years (60+) and a bike rider myself I enjoyed all of the ride and the adventure that Paul took us on.

A bit short given the subject...?
A good listen overall, but about halfway through, we hadn't started the ride yet. I can't help but feel a bit more could have been made of the journey... then again, it might be a bit lonesome and quiet out on much of the Aussie lap... and still not sure what caused the spill.
Well read tho... and a good story on the whole which genuinely made me augh out loud at a couple of inappropriate times.
