For many riders, going for a blast along winding roads is the best bit about biking. One of them described it to me as "Getting from A -A"!
In these days of affordable GPS systems, don't forget the humble map book as a useful aid to biking. I like the A-Z books.
One of these:

Spends its time between in-door route planning and the passenger-side footwell of the car.
However, it's a bit bulky for bike use, so I have some of their booklet versions which cover more limited areas of the UK. These are smaller, and more bike-friendly. Unfortunately, looking at the web site it seems they're no longer available.
A reasonable alternative might be:
'The Best Rides' Motorcycle Atlas
