It's rule of thirds, but it's also about having the subject 'going into' the shot, rather than looking like it's heading out of frame.
Here you go, this shot still (more or less) follows rule of thirds, but the bike is heading out of shot, which I wouldn't do:

Similarly, I wouldn't have the bike dead centre, as it's too ambiguous, if you like. Once again, I'd stress that as has been said, rules can be broken, but it's just a 'feeling' I got from some of your shots.

Photo locations: Depends what type of photography you want to do. Tysley train station as above and you can get some action shots / panning shots of the trains going past plus the station's an old style one that's been left untouched so you can get some cool shots around the place.
The canals in town. Might sound naff but there's loads of different buildings, boats and so.. just depends what takes your eye.
Inside the art gallery that has free entrance. There's an old BSA inside also hidden away somewhere so it's a bit of local history, only the one bike.
German markets. I'd probably go with someone for that since it's known for being a bit funky at the best of times.
There's normally, around summer, a food festival next door to the art museum and that can be an ok day out if you want a beer and to listen to the music.
Google "what's on in Birmingham this week?" or something like that and you can usually get a list. There's a few links on google. Email an event and state that you're a hobby photographer doing it for yourself and would like to know if you can attend the event for free in return for providing them with photographs. You only have to ask. Football grounds also might allow you to picture small training days of non important teams for the experience.
Plus there's plenty of walks around town. Pick a section and just explore, with a camera in the hand I just forget normality and go anywhere and shoot what takes my interest. You get funny looks all the time but whatever, depends how confident you are with holding your kit in plain view.
So yeah, that's mainly street and some action but you'll find what type you like best over time.
Rides:
Sadly not. I asked you the same thing in the hope you had some recommendations. From what I've read on here people always say Wales.
Beyond that what I currently have in mind might not interest you. In terms of twisty routes, fast roads and so on I've no idea.
Saying that during DAS we ended up in Brownhills and that was a nice little village, if the nice little village was in Brownhills. Email a local training school and ask them for the names of places they usual take students, can't hurt.
I've been stuck on a tiddler is why I don't have any recommended routes because the moment you start to plan a route via google maps I see a 50-60 mph road and think sod that I can't do it, can't really have any fun outside the city.
There's a place called Hampton in Arden that's caught my eye. Never been but might want to visit. I usually sit on google maps and pick a place and see how easy it is to get to and return. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |

Sorry I think you misunderstood my question, I was asking if you wanted reccomendations for photo locations or riding routes? In response to this...

Oh, oops.
Riding routes would be nice. Even if I don't use them straight away I can explore when the better wearer arrives. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |
