Where would you go?

I would definitely go cross country and try to visit as many national parks and other attractions I could. 10 days is a little short. I would need at least 14 days. Where exactly where would I go? I can't really say. Just the other day I finally ventured out of the high school parking lot with my bike! LOL!!

Here is one guy's 10,000 mile, 26 day, solo motorcycle trip to the Arctic Circle from Santa Fe, NM. This video is entertaining and well done. The video is 25 minutes. So grab yourself a beer and kick your feet up and enjoy the Artic adventure of Mundo Bravo!

Colorado Rockies. Just passing thru Kansas is the only BORING part of the trip. Do that in a day and get it over with. The Tennesee run would be my second choice for sure.

Southwest..through the Ozarks, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Amarillo, New Mexico, Arizona to San Diego and then 15 through Vegas, Bryce Canyon, the Rockies all the way to Montana and then S Dakota and back to Ohio. .. Mountains, Canyons, Desert, forests, Constantly changing Majestic scenery, might take more than 10 days.... LOL

I never took 15 up that far when I lived out there. Always got on 70 going east. KANSAS is the worst ride on the freeway...... LONG and straight and flat for far too much time LOL.

Im in NE Ohio. A buddy of mine asked this last summer. We would like to ride to the northern tip of Maine and then ride the east coast south to Florida. I always wanted to ride out west though. The Blue Ridge Parkway would be awsome too. Tough call.

I'm with Sanoke on this one. As much as I prefer riding in the west it doesn't seem like such a good idea to endure the misery of the great plains to get out here (to Yellowstone, for example) during a such short trip.

And the southeast US in the summer? Why not just stay home and turn the thermostat in your house up to 95?...it's cheaper, less humid, and you can have fridge full of beer. The southwest is less humid but hotter still, and legendary Rt. 66 -- at least the CA/AZ portion that I know -- is about as boring as a road can get unless you like sand, endless scrub and broken beer bottles.

Go north, young man, up to the UP, across Ontario and down through the Maritimes, New England and New York.

Although I agree with the weather issues in the SW. ALA heat... The problem I see with the east coast is everything is the same.... Trees, hills, and winding roads. Not much change of scenery. Lots of trees. and two lane riding. Even the major freeways in AZ, New Mexico, Coloroado, Nevada, are very scenic and FAR less traveled between major urban areas. RT 66 is ok in some areas, but I agree with Mike, it's not a "must do"

Interstate from Las Vegas to Colorado north or detoured to Lake Powell and the North Rim in are among or may just be the most breath taking rides I have ever taken. The heat is dry and rain squalls welcome. LOL PLUS it your are far less likely to have weather stops in the SW. FAR less likley. Where I live now in the SE.....meh Trees and two lane hilly roads for miles.....gets boring quickly. ..then there are the deer to deal with.

Has anyone had the chance to watch the video I posted above?

Get one of those big map books with all the states. Each night pull it out look, at where you are and make some rough plans. Get up in the morning, review the map and then head out. If something interesting comes up, stop. Don't be afraid to change your plans. Let the bike help you decide where to go. Sometimes it knows more than me about where to go.
