Monte, smokers require some form of deciduous tree native to Texas or the Southern United States. i.e. mesquite, hickory, or pecan. Even though the price of petrol is on the high side right now I would prefer to not convert my bike over to a wood burning stove. (hmmm, I do have a spare R65 tank in the shed that might make some form of cooker....) I'll get back to you on that.
As for this fellow, I do admire his sense of style and panache. The paint scheme is wonderful, a representation of the Bavarian Coat of Arms. Love the bags also.
