Buying Snowmobiles I've ALWAYS Wanted !! (and First Rides)

[@JeremyRhydes]

What was the better deal?? What sled should I buy next?? Drop it down below and I'll take all into consideration while I hunt facebook marketplace and craigslist. Also, hit the like or dislike button so these videos can be pushed more and I can buy more sleds. Lol And as always find the Sasquatch and win some Ride More merch. :)

[@daniel_xxdannyxx7344]

You should get a Yamaha bravo

[@DeerHunterDanOfficial]

I honestly think the enticer

[@JeremyRhydes]

@@daniel_xxdannyxx7344 We have an old clapped out one, but looking for a better condition!

[@JeremyRhydes]

@@DeerHunterDanOfficial For the long haul? Lol

[@DeerHunterDanOfficial]

Glad you posted and good riding with your new snow

[@506motoadv]

I wouldn’t be able to sit on an Enticer without yelling “just gonna send it!” My neighbor growing up had a little Elan. Absolutely bulletproof and it would go anywhere. Didn’t get anywhere fast but it always got there.

[@JeremyRhydes]

I can definitely feel my mullet growing quicker every time I sit on the Enticer...

[@nathanmorin4565]

Please do a north to south expedition! Just please consider a meet and great along your way there’s a couple diners along the trail up here in Franklin County! I’d be safe to say alot of people would enjoy a group ride with you as well bud!! Still can’t get over your a fellow green mountain state boy!! 802 for life

[@jasonschmit3308]

The elan was a steal at 250. Actually both great buys. In Wisconsin those sleds would go for 800-1000 easy.

[@JeremyRhydes]

I thought so! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

[@bhuffine2557]

I remember back when i was young, my dad had an enticer 340 deluxe. We went everywhere on that thing, and loved it. Then we moved to the sunny south where you get enough snow to ride maybe once every 3 or 4 years barely. Since then my dad buys and restores old yamaha sleds. I have a bravo 250, and would get something better if we actually got some more snow. My dad still has his 340, and a few more. He loves his Vmax. Just wish we had more snow. Love your videos, and I keep looking at my wife with those sad eyes wanting to go riding so bad. This video gave me some great memories. Thanks!!

[@northsidedork_3043]

Those Enticers were such great trail breakers. I remember having one as a kid to learn on and it would go anywhere. In one word, tank.

[@michaelgmcauliffe]

i had a 1981 enticer which i bought ib 1984 with 4 tanks of gas through it only !! It was like brand new !! Very fun sled!! i also has a 1982 enticer 300 also bought as a year old ..they were great sleds and never gave me any problems !! You will certainly enjoy that sled !! you scored son!!!

[@rubbabubba6489]

What a score! $250 for the elan was a steal. I've had a couple in my life, nice little sleds.

[@kellyhay79]

I like the comment, that’s what you get being a neighbor of mine… if all neighbors were like you, it would be a great place to live. Keep doing what you’re doing bro!!

[@JeremyRhydes]

Haha Thank you!

[@NJP76]

That's a fact! I would LOVE to be surrounded by neighbors who love snowmobiles. Most of my current neighbors have little to no use for outside winter activities. As for me? Can't keep me inside when there is good snow on the ground. Trails will be opening this afternoon, and I plan on being out there all day. :)

[@andrewhippeli6951]

Hell yeah brother we definitely want to go on that snowmobile adventure with you!!!let's see it

[@KixBryant]

What a score! Both are great sleds

[@davidgercic8271]

The old sleds are the simplest and fun to work on. Enjoy your videos. I think I see the sasquatch around the 17:07 mark set way back in the background.

[@ratherBEaREDNECK]

Your enjoyment is contageous, Jeremy!

[@stareintothewoods7030]

KEEP DROPPING BANGERS!!!!!! these videos are the best for learning especially seeing different motors and models. Your the best

[@JeremyRhydes]

Thank you!! As long as people keep watching, I'll keep uploading! Lol

[@robertschilz8028]

my first sled was an ol olympic one lunger..my father had an alpine..twin track one ski..that thing would pull your truck out of a ditch..a real work horse we chased them little elans all over..quick and light for the day.. thanks for the memories..good days

[@JeremyRhydes]

Awesome to hear that! I'm really excited about both of these machines!

[@tristin110]

Yes please do that 4 day trip on the old one

[@turji]

600$ for the et340, here in norway we just sell the hood for 500$, one in that conditione would have been 2000$ over here or more. Thar was a f-inng steal buddy👌👏

[@elan440steve]

You bought a ELAN!! I have 4 of them in my collection, the 440 since 1984. I'm a sucker for vintage sleds! Started on a skiroule in 1977. That yamaha sounds nice, good running machine! Thank you for another great video.

[@NavigatorHomeInspections]

Sweet! I had that same 340 Enticer back in the 80’s. My Uncle actually named the Enticer and the Exciter. He was the Sr. VP of Yamaha Motors USA back in the 70’s and 80’s. That sled was so fun!

[@JeremyRhydes]

Woah! This is wild! Are you for real?

[@NavigatorHomeInspections]

@@JeremyRhydes Yes, he was the only non Japanese on the Board of Directors.😁

[@WillGerardot-es3qu]

M and my brother got two enticers running two years ago when I was 10 and they never miss a beat great machines.

[@MrZ281980]

Seeing alot of your videos lately. It really makes me miss when southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 use to get real winters to enjoy snowmobiling. We are Lucky to get 2 weeks you have enough snow to go out. when I see Facebook Market place flooded with dirt cheap sleds from 70s to mid 2000s most likely super low hour machines that would be easy projects. 😢 love your videos keep em coming .

[@daniel_xxdannyxx7344]

DUDE this is sick these are legit nl sleds no kiddin, all you need now is a bravo or enticer 2

[@JeremyRhydes]

Thanks man! Yeah, I'm pumped for these!

[@NJP76]

Never owned a Bravo, but have wanted one for ever. I just picked up a little Yamaha Inviter to satisfy my one-lunger desires. That thing is a hoot to ride. It looks so tiny next to my Indy, but I love it just as much. Would still love to pick up an Enticer or Bravo one day. If nothing else, just to have a fanner in my stable.

[@hutchinsonsadventures4678]

been a while since ive watched. moved from the uk. now living in Australia.. love what ya do.

[@eugenebaroni1298]

Great score 👍 My neighbors didn't like me growing up LoL 😜 looks like good times nothing like those old sled's.

[@dyland6647]

Make a lot more videos bud!!😂 please!! We all love them!

[@brentgallagher5137]

Brent Gallagher here Toledo Ohio we get no more snow here. My first sled was a blue and silver Yamaha enticer 340. Ended getting stupid buying every sled I could get after that. But the last sled I had was a Yamaha SS 440 that was my favorite one out of all. Not much for a jumper or ruff trail sled it sat real low. But that sled was stupid fast after a few cheap mods. That's what you need next you will love it.

[@garagenerd1951]

I too love Enticers! Just great fun sleds.

[@sixramsalot]

awesome,grew up on exact sled but mine was a deluxe,and also had a 78 elan deluxe,good memories

[@nikolauschiorgno5884]

That'd be an awesome video to watch that long trip

[@JeremyRhydes]

I like the idea! We'll see if enough people agree!

[@NJP76]

@@JeremyRhydes Count me in on the "agree" side.

[@bigjay6743]

Had the same Enticer growing up. Man that thing was fast for a 90 pound kid then I had 1 in my 20s but the 440 same year both were 1981. Wish I held on to it. Would love to find another clean 440 in the late 70s or early 80s I think they are a good looking sled but most arguing that fact.

[@NJP76]

I agree about the Enticer being a good looking ride. I always loved that look. Those 340's (338cc) are some rippin little engines. I had an SL433 (on an SL338 frame) back in the days, and that thing was a blast to ride. These days I ride a '95 Indy440, and just picked up a little 1988 Yamaha Inviter. Love both of them, but would like to add an Enticer to the "stable" some day.

[@ArcticJeff]

Love that old ET340. My friend when I was a kid had one in that colour but it was a 250. Those were quality Yamaha's, for sure!

[@v.a.a-vroomoutdoors]

Im not gonna lie, its so nice seeing other people driving the old Yamaha. It brings back really good memories from many years ago. My dad had a red one. And i did borrow it sometimes in our cottage we had back then and it was my first snowmobile that i did drive. Lots of good snow but it did get stuck sometimes in the snow but it was an amazing snowmobile Keep up the goos work!

[@JeremyRhydes]

Thank you!! So far, I love it!

[@klapaucius77]

Those Enticers were solid machines. My buddy had one, hit a pole, used a tree to straighten it out and kept riding!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

The E Lan as it’s pronounced, is deserving of restoration, and the enticer is a sweet sled. My oldest brother had a 340 enticer and it was a blast to ride, but not as fun as my other brothers 440 exciter

[@Kenjh71]

My friend, that is like scoring a Mustang and a Charger. You got gold in your hands.

[@andrewthacker1389]

nice thing about bogey wheel sleds like the elan is that running them with no snow doesn't hurt them. Just keep them off pavement and gravel
