Very nice, the problem here is that the PC will then not boot without that drive attached. You have in effect made the USB drive a key to access any other OS on that computer.
So even for geek points you score a zero for this, if only because if doing as you suggest, you have bricked your system. Nor is the drive "portable" to another system without doing a GRUB install on it and turning a second machine into a brick.
