Been on two wheels for nearly 30 years now, In that time I have managed to fall off in some quite charming spots, in no particular order (except no.1) i would rank them
1. The Isle of man, such a beautiful Island, I would seriously consider retiring there if I could afford it, you wont get to ride like Hutchy as most of the course is speed limited, and the parts that are not (mountain section mainly) will be 2 way traffic, but its a stunning place with very bike friendly locals, to see the racing, I usually do the Manx in August, practice week especially gets you the thrill of watching lunatics defying death, without some nutter on a gixer round every bend on the island
2. Yorkshire dales are beautiful, great roads, I usually try to link a trip through here with
3. Lake district, you wont get your knee down, but amazing scenery and some very technical riding
4. go abroad, Somewhere like Brugge is far enough away to feel like an adventure, but can be done over a long weekend
5. Cat and fiddle / snakes pass, heavily policed now (cat and fiddle at least) but epic roads, again in a spectacular part of the country
6. East Anglian coast, The coast road from Hunstanton to Yarmouth (biased as thats my local route)
7. Some mates just got back from Scotland and raved about it, I have not been
I have just sold my Duc and now only have a loaned Harley project, but always up for a local (bike only does 55mph) ride out if you fancy hitting Norfolk, let me know!
