CA to PA this May
Well, no going back now. I just bought the one way ticket to meet up with my bike in California this May. My father and bother are driving cross country for a Ford Bronco anniversary event in Victorville, CA, so I talked them into taking my Tuono with them so I can ride back to PA. I've laid out a preliminary route that keeps to the southern part of the US then ends up going through Deals Gap and up the length of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I'd like to stay off the highway when practical so I can see more of the country, so if anyone knows of some good roads (especially in the Southwest) that run along my route, I'd love to hear your suggestions.

I'm sure once you get past halfway, the ride will be pretty enjoyable. Not sure how enjoyable that first part of the trip will be going through Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Never been down that way. But let's face it; It's gotta be more enjoyable that doing it in a vehicle. Good luck  |

Head south on 10 to just past Tuscon (see for my route map). The route running north next to New Mexico is a fricking awesome ride. Check the pics too. You should not miss that road
The other set of roads is north in Arkansas. Check out this route for some nice roads.

Arizona and New Mexico are going to have some very boring spots. I did two cross country rides (in a cage) and those two states are the worst to drive through.
I went north up threw tulsa and Missouri very nice route. Went through indy and you can hop on the turnpike to Harrisburg.
