I don't know much about this, just got a link to the video in an email. Pretty damn cool though!

There is or was a production bike like this called a Rokon, they also made a mx bike with a snowmobile drive system. Like a Polaris ATV.

Back in the day, Marlon Perkins and Jim Fowler used the Rokon on "Wild Kingdom". I'd like to see'em pick one up like that, though.

A good friend of mine owned a Rokon, and it took two men and a boy to pick it up, but it did have rims that were small cylinders so it would float.

I love that Rooski! 

Sent the URL to my friend with a URAL (his second) - told him it would be a great spare - he can put it in the side car.

Yah I told a guy at work that owns a urinal. That he should get one. That it would be the ultimate survival bike. For when the zombies attack :wacko1: :wacko2: :crazy:
