My daughter has a rabbit just like yours Pete, she calls it Flopsy, but I call it Pie! It serves no useful purpose unlike yours though, just like it's hutchmates, Stew, Casserole and Pasty, at least our hens Tikka and Vindaloo produce eggs>:D

Thats a good looking rabbit Hairy git, looks like my one (who's name is stinker) when he was young, he is quite old now but still taking an active role in my restorations, you can see below he has just finished laying out my k0 fork components, ready for assembly

He made a good job of the fork lowers, i suppose that's where the soft coat comes in handy ;D

Anyone know how many sandcasts were sold here?

@ hairygit
                 id say none ,not until the yanks decided they was collectable i would be very surprised if any came over at all before the eighties , i had never heard of the term sandcast not until well into the eighties

@ ash
         i don't think lord denbigh knew or cared what model he had at the time, just that he had to have it ,he was high up in the FIM then so i bet he called in a few favours to get it , this is all hindside just like the terms k0 and sandcast
as you said in a earlier post ash probably only twenty CB750's came to the UK at first and probably in very small numbers there after , for whatever reason the japs never wanted us to have the early bikes probably too small a market here anyways the first UK bikes frame number is in the parts list so the japs knew exactly when we was gonna have them and not before lol .
all the CB750's I've seen in wales are not earlier than j reg meaning registered later than august 1970 where as i have English and Irish CB750's which come under the h reg plate and registered before august 1970   ::)   time to take the anorak off  cheers guys
