Pbassred Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Is there a map of fun roads. Alternatively, is there a navigation app that saves and shares them? I tried Riser but it doesn't know the difference between a twisty and a council estate. Quote
manxie49 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 I've never used it but try this https://www.bestbikingroads.com/motorcycle-roads/country/united-kingdom I have a tomtom rider and you can set the route to your tastes, not sure if tomtom do a separate app?? Quote

Beat me to it by three minutes. Looks interesting and took 30 seconds to discover . Quote
bonio Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) BBR is better than nothing, but it's good to be aware of its weaknesses - people have uploaded all kinds of routes they've done, whether they were any good or not. To get the best out of BBR, you need to look beyond the map, and go click on each road you're interested in and read what the person said. Too often it's something like "lot of boring straights but it got me to my Mum's in time for lunch".The Bikers' Britain books are excellent - I've never followed one of their routes and been disappointed.There are some apps like kurviger that will find twisty routes for you, but to me there are a lot of ingredients to a good road - sight lines, traffic, road surface - as well as bends', and I've not found the apps to be a replacement for local knowledge.

Tankbag Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 As above & calimoto is good but watch out for when it chooses a ' lane' unless you're ok with single tracks, I always check out the lanes it suggests on street view, It doesn't take long. Quote
onesea Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 TomTom my drive does senic routes or similar... Quote
