I've wondered why someone didn't do this on a bike, and didn't realize someone had. It would have very little practical benefit, but would still be cool to have if done well.
That's a Rokon, and I think they still make them. They were designed for off road use in muddy conditions, and went lots of places you couldn't go on a regular dirtbike.
