That would be a sweet dune bike with those wide tires.

The tires and wheels are one thing. That bar clamp setup? Blink

I was looking at that too, I've never seen those before.

I'm not sure anyone has. That has the look of a couple six-packs of garage engineering all over it.

Clip-on's are pretty standard on sport bikes. Ergonomically it allows the rider to lay more forward and have a lower frontal area, which means less overall aerodynamic drag and is ideal for higher speeds. Definitely the first i've seen someone do this on a dirtbike, though.

Yeah the one in the ad had some sort of suspension clamp set up with elastomers.

I'm assuming from the location of OP it was these guys right here. http://www.bykas.com/. Didnt see the photo but saw it was from Oregon City and was sure it had to be one of their bikes.

I wonder if they remove the cartridges from the forks and replace with those proprietary elastomers too. It's like west coast choppers but with dirt scooters. How long before fox starts making chaps?

If my memory serves me right, that guy was trying to sell that clamp setup for like 159$ a while back!
