You can't fool the spam police. The website route finder is naff too so it's useless spam as well.

Apologies to the spam police. I’m indeed one of the founders of this website that shall not be named in this post. The question was actually genuine. We released a motorcycle route planner one year ago and are trying to get more feedback from fellow riders. We’re a group of "motorcycle enthusiasts" and felt we could use our skills to contribute the biker community.

CaNsA - indeed the itinerary shown is shit. To be fair, the site displays a star rating of 0 for this route to indicate just that. We'll make it more explicit in the next version. We currently do not have coverage around Liverpool, hence the defaulting to google map. What’s the recommended itinerary? We’ll add it to the database. The site uses a combination of the roads stored in the database and google to connect them together.

Try Liverpool to Tywyn (Snowdonia), definitely some good roads in there Wink

Yep, saw your query in the logs. You got the infamous "No dice... There is nothing matching your search parameters. Sell your bike and start knitting courses."

That's because the distance between Newcastle Upon Tyne and Sunderland is less than 30km. You need be bold and go bigger Wink Jokes aside, we'll look into removing this limitation in the next version as it seems that you're not the only one being let down by this "feature".

There are some good roads around Sunderland though, you can try this loop for example:
https://www.twistyride.com/SearchResults.html?w0=54.9044493$-1.3814533$Sunderland,%20Tyne%20And%20Wear,%20UK&w1=54.9044493$-1.3814533$Sunderland,%20Tyne%20And%20Wear,%20UK&d0=18000000&l=0&r=2147483644z7z&t=1
