Even today, 40 some years later, the looks of this thing rivals any hard-core biker custom built and it was built for touring! That just looks like a toy mini-bike on steroids…fake “bigness”

The two rear wheels retract up while the motorcycle moves, there are however two more small wheels in parallel to the large rear wheel that appear to remain in contact with the ground at all times (I wasn't listening to the sound but I think they have something to do with the ability to reverse the vehicle). There is a video after the link that describes the build process. It actually has six wheels.

As ridiculous as this project seems, I have to admit I've done some home improvement projects that ended up costing 2-3x what a prefab doohickey from Lowes would have cost. But if you want it done a very specific way, and you have the $ to make it happen, why not. This guy just did it on a much grander scale.
