I tried that load Google maps and then filter by avoiding tolls and interstate highways interesting routes come up when you use that. By the way my goal might be Sturgis but it would be the journey there that would be the most important. Seeing things along the way...that's the main reason for avoiding major cities and traffic congestion...like around Chicago for example...how to get around that congestion would be a big help. Wouldn't mine going to see like the Harley Museum or some other interesting site in a city but no desire to ride through them all for no reason...
Thanks again

Weekday morning, well good luck.
I would wait till I was well past Chicago before I looked for any 2 lane roads going west.

I-80 south of Chicago isn't too bad if you hit it early afternoon about 2-2:30. If you're running I-90 in Ohio you could hit 271 south by Cleveland drop down to Columbus and hit 70 west over to Indy then hit 74 west that will run you up to I-80 just before the IL/IA line. I'm in Ohio and that route adds just under 2hrs for me but it avoids Chicago completely and all the tolls on my journey.
