Well....I moved around for a while so can only comment on those places!

Leicestershire - My home county and love it to bits.  Some great roads there, especially around South and East Leicestershire.  B6047 is probably one of the best biking roads around (its the one all the Bike journo's rave about).  Oakham, Rutland, Market Harborough, Lutterworth all fabs rural roads...not too many old bill and next to fuck all speed cameras.  Mallory, Donny literally a few mins away from most of the county and Silvers only down the road.  Plus...if you go the old A50 (A5199 now) to Northampton its even a great ride...lot better than M1.   Nightlife is pretty ok in centre if you avoid the mainstream tart bars.  And you'll never be too far from a great ruby?

Peterborough - The second capital of Poland.  Silverstone very commutable plus Cadwell Park about 40 mins away.  Not to mention its close to Leicester so even Mallory and Donny are doable.  However, the roads are a bit flat and boring.  No real hills or undulation.  So can be abit 100mph straight, right hander, 100 mph straight, left hander.  Roads out towars Bourne are ok.  PLus you can then head off towards Stamford, Rutland (oooh see my bias...all heading towards Leics).  Nightlife is pretty shite...but lots of Polish kebab houses and Pizza deliveries...."Ermm..vud you like Chilli, Salt Lemon please yes?"

Chester - So far my favourite place to live.  Oulton (imo the greatest bike track) a mere nats cock away and well worth a ride out.  North Wales (except for the police, Chief Brunstrom and the Welsh of course) is 'ucking awesome.  The roads from Chester to Bala are the most scenic, brilliant, complex and quick roads you'll ever ride.  The move was worth it for those roads alone.  Great lads up here too...now firm friends and biking compadre's.  Andy J, Chrisblack10r and Davemfox....plus PatF and Phil who I've met a few times.  Not to mention the Tap on a Sunday night...great biker meet.  Chester itself is fabulous pretty city with great shops and brill nightlife.  Not to mention the selection of restaurants!  Liverpool is a swim across the mersey (shudda the thought) and brill now with the new Liverpool One shopping centre?!

Blimey...I should have been a travel reporter!

Thats my pounds worth!!

I'm with Mr T, stay away from the UK 

For me it would be the Isle of Man 

No Tax and No speed limits (Mountain section)

Thanks for all the replies, some good info there but i'm even more confused now 

Chester seems good as its close to a few tracks then you've got the roads in Wales.  Its only really a couple of hours away from Cadwell too most importantly since thats my fave track.

Thought about IOM when I was over there the other week but been told its dead when the TT isn't on ?

Would love to move abroad to Spain but wouldn't go there on my own.  Would be handy for all the spanish trackdays i'm planning on doing though.

Anyway thanks again and keep the ideas coming.  It wouldn't be until next year if I do decide to move but good to get some ideas

IN a house ..........   

[Mr.T]

ive a friend in the isle of man and the house prices are abit steep,regarding it being dead when the tt aint on ide think on that as a good thing as far as biking is concerned plus when it is on rent ya yard oout to folk in tents and make some pocket money,plus you get to see it for free.

i take it a couple of the folk in here dont like you as ive seen scunthorpe and hull mentioned

swindon it is the end of the world and you'd hate it.
