About TwistyTrip

The problem with planning a motorcycle trip

Every rider knows the ritual. Forty browser tabs. A spreadsheet with fuel maths. Google Maps fighting you on every waypoint. Three forums arguing about whether the pass is open. Two hours later you have half a route, no hotels, and a headache — and you still don't know what the trip will actually cost.

TwistyTrip exists because planning a motorcycle trip should take about as long as putting your boots on.

What TwistyTrip does

TwistyTrip is a motorcycle trip planner that works backwards from every other tool. Instead of making you build a route point by point, you answer eight questions — where you start, where you're heading (or "surprise me"), how many days, your bike, your vibe — and about 60 seconds later you have a complete trip:

• Real routes on real roads, with distances, riding times and elevation from professional routing — never guessed by an AI
• Day-by-day stages kept under 800 km, because trips are for enjoying, not enduring
• Biker-friendly hotels with secure motorcycle parking, hand-picked where we know the roads
• An honest cost breakdown — fuel, hotels, food, tolls — real numbers, not brochure numbers
• GPX export that drops straight into your Garmin, calimoto or Google Maps, and a PDF roadbook for the tank bag

Then you make it yours: swap hotels, add a stop, invite your riding group to argue about it. Edit anything and the trip rebuilds itself.

Who's behind it

TwistyTrip is built by André — a Portuguese rider living in the UK who spent years planning trips from his front door to the Pyrenees and back, and got tired of the forty tabs. It's independent, bootstrapped and built rider-first: no ads, no selling your data, no hotel pay-to-play. The product survives on Premium subscriptions and honest affiliate commissions — that's the whole business model.

Where it's going

More curated corridors across Europe — the Pyrenees today; Picos de Europa, the Douro and the Alps on the bench. Better fuel strategy. More riders arguing about hotels. If you want to shape it, plan your first trip free — no account needed — and tell us what a real rider thinks.
