I see EVERY shop in Newfoundland had a NL Buy&Sell poster or 3 on the wall, haha.

I traded a set of rear tires a couple weeks ago for an Elan 250 single.
Cleaning the carb and fitting the throttle cable right now and then I'm off to go ride it home.

I wish there was more snow too.

Thats right, Always gets the christmas island girl calender, Did you get much snow from today? When i gets home from placentia tommorow I may be able to take the elan for a little spin. I'm glad to see another Newfie on here too, Welcome

If anything we lost snow today. The sun was out strong.

[Custom200]

That sucks, we got another few cm, despite we had a snowfall warning Well I got the trike too so, still waiting for the snow

[Custom200]

Well still waiting on more snow,looks like mild weather next week, well more work will be done on the elan in the mean time, So does anyone have any pics of their elans?

Be carefull guys these elans are very addictive,I also grew up with these go anywhere skidoos and thought it would be nice to get another after 30yrs and now I have a few of them. The 75 300ss model is the most sought after which was the fastest with a 294cc motor but also the heaviest.The white hood elans and motoski spirits are also rare.The most expensive part to replace is the tracks and can cost up to $475 for a new one. Happy elaning.

[elan300ss]

Hey Mr Aquarius! lol, What are you doin here on the elan thread? I have one for sale and I know you need one to pull out those big lakers,lol.

I got another elan eyed up for this winter, Im look at an ss with slide suspension, hopefully it follows through. Any more guys on here with elans for the winter?

My old man had one a few seasons back. He bought to flatten down the trails behind my house. It was a blast, slow as molasses but fun. We payed $150 bought a carb kit for it. Took it too my uncles one day and his brother offered my old man $650. Needless to say he sold it. I might pick one up this season

I started sledding with Elans. My first sled was a 71 250E, then I had a 73 Elan SS with the tuned pipe, twin HR carbs and even had disc brakes. That little 250 twin with the tuned pipe sounded awesome and would do an honest 45mph on a good day. Someone had mentioned earlier about a vibration issue...not with the twins, definetly with the one lungers though...My twin was very smooth compared to any other elan I drove, my brother also had a 71 250 sans electric start. I should have never sold mine because it was in mint condition but I was young and wanted to go faster....A regret a still have to this day.
