RE: If You could
Anyday on the bike with good friends is a good day. IF I COULD, I would ride the four corners to start with. I would like to take a ride down the Mother Road. US 1 from as far north to as far south as I could go would be nice too. Coast to coast is on the list too! Hell, I might even go to Mexico or Canada.
My home and heart remains in Middle Tennessee though!

Make a 4 corners tour of the USA........ Start from home in Virginia, to Maryland to see my big sis, then to Wilmington, NC to visit my other sister, go to Tampa, Fl and visit my daughter, then to Miami. From Miami take the southern route to California, then up the Pacific Coastal Highway to Northern CA and visit my oldest son. From there take the farthest Northern route back to Maine, and drop down through NY and visit my youngest son in Paradise, PA, then to visit my oldest brother in Delaware. From Delaware go to western, PA to visit me Mom, then a leisurely ride back home via West VA, Tennessee, Kentucky, an western, NC.
That would would do me for awhile

Done most of 66 in my truck, and it was nice, but I know from living in the midwest that there are some fantastic rides all over that aren't that well known, so I'd have to say, Just ride all over for years. I'd like to got through canada to alaska, and all over the US, and to Hawaii.
My buddy, practically raised at my parents like a foster brother, got his first harley when he was stationed in Hawaii and said that is some of the best riding, the carefree hawaiian attitude and all. If you aren't in the mood to enjoy, even the best ride won't appeal to you.
I think the drivers around you and traffic would make all the difference in the enjoyment, so plan to avoid the damned sh!++y traffic and you should enjoy riding most places. I like riding AZ
I actually enjoyed the Amish country there in Ohio, and would have liked to do the river parks if I'd had time. I enjoy canyon lands and riparian (river) areas for scenery and wildlife. I didn't like feeling like I might smack a deer while I was in Ohio though. You gotta bunch of them fu(&ers there!
I would like to do Utah monuments and parks on my bike. They have some cool canyons and stuff. I have been there in the jeep, but it isn't the same as seeing the stuff at your feet as you slide up the asphalt ribbon across the surface of this rock that's floating around the sun, that's floating in some huge a$$ universe. I like to see it all. I'd like to cruise through mexico, or all over mexico, and down in and through central and south america, then get over to europe and do it all again. If I had my choice, and the means, I wouldn't stop there either.

That sounds like a very nice trip, and I hope you guys enjoy every mile. Take along a camera and plenty of memory so you can take a load of pictures. Look I am not too sure of how old you are, but my advice to you is to spend as much time as you possibly can with your dad now. It was my Dad who got me my first bike....a Honda Trail-70, and he would take me all over to ride different places all through my youth from the time I was about 7 until I was about 18. I never realized back then how much the time we spent riding together meant to me......they were far and away the very best days of my youth. So make the most out of your time with your Dad and make him proud of you!

I already have plans for when I graduate from high school this year. In early July, my dad and I are going west on I-70 from Denver as far as we can and then down to Paso Robles, California to see some friends. Then east to El Paso and up north to Alamogordo, NM. Then east again to the mississippi River and follow that up to St. Louis. Then west back to denver for two weeks to relax. Then up to Sturgis we go, and take the back roads home. And this definitely wont be the last, hopefully.

RE: If You could
This week I'd be happy to get the time to just ride around the block! Dannng.
But this summer, I am looking to do my "17 stater". Starting just east of Seattle, I have a big circle that will take me through 17 western states on a lot of secondary highways, with very few touristy sites. Stop when and where I want, go when I feel like it - just ride and see the America they don't always show on tv.

RE: If You could
Right now I would just love an hour ride around the block with some 80 degree weather. I'm already so tired of the cold and I still have a few months to go. My first thought when I read the question was somewhere warm and along the beach. aaaahhhh..
