Ugh! Draculas of the fish world. The St. Lawrence Seaway gave Lampreys 
access to the Great Lakes where they decimated the fish.

Fascinating. One of our medieval kings is said to have died ‘of a surfeit of 
lampreys’, though presumably not brook lampreys as they seem to small to eat.

The bike wasn’t particularly damaged apparently. The helmet was a write-off, 
of course, but they must be insured for that sort of thing.

I’ll try and make it to Dorset. I’m trying to plan my hols at the moment, which 
were going to involve a vintage bike ride in France that week, but I think 
that’s probably off the cards now and I’ll go walking somewhere in June instead 
with some other Francophile friends.

 10th and 11th are possibilities but I’m trying to arrange a trip to
 Amsterdam and the NL for May sometime, so it’s a bit uncertain.
 It also depends to some extent how well my fractured collarbone has healed.
 I expect to be discharged at the end of April, and so far everything’s
 going well, but who knows?

Yikes!!! I've fallen off at over 100mph and just gone racing the next
day! Your "emergency dismount" (equestrian euphemism I learned from my
mum) sounds like an epic mishap.

I usually tell people after their first crash to stick with it and not
give up, but in your case I think I'll concur with your own decision.

At least it was someone else's bike (as all the motorcyclists on here will be 
thinking) but full marks for commitment.  We will be in Dorset first week 
of July, if you are healed and fancy meeting up.
