probably there to cut down on metal to metal squeaks, and creaks.
Or vibration dampers. Shock absorber has travel and is an active device, at least in automotive parlance.
Those are there to prevent stray vibrations that may pop up under certain load/stress conditions from echoing throughout the body.

Same same. Just don't move as much.

Well there's big globs of silicone there now. 
I was thinking about cutting strips of rubber from an old tractor inner tube and coating each side with gasket sealant but I said fk it.
I'll keep an eye on it & if it falls out it's not that big a deal to loosen 6 bolts & prop it up a few inches with the floor jack and a 2x4.

Not so much with the ATVs but up north it is pretty common to see snowmobiles riding on the road or in the ditches to get a double-double or a pack-a-darts or a 2-fer.It's a nice day to operate unlicensed motor vehicles on public roads with a complete disregard for traffic laws.

God Dammit. I posted a guide with Canadian slang.
A double-double is a coffee with 2 cream
and 2 sugar. We just say Double double because it is cold and no time to talk

I don't ride this thing on pavement except when I have to, like to cut across 3 parking lots to get to the gas station from the gravel trail beside the railroad tracks.
My current location is classified.
Hey look! Mulberries!
Now my fingers are stained purple.

I don't go near mulberry bushes in case the monkey is chasing the weasel.

There's wild raspberries all over the place along this trail but it's totally overgrown. I haven't maintained it in about 7 years.Pretty sweet when you find wild raspberries or blackberries

Get some migrant workers to pick the berries and clear the overgrowth. They don't cost much.
