West toward the Badlands and all the area west of that. Beautiful, untouched, unpopulated.

Or SW toward the Rockies and ride the mountains. Beautiful, twisties.

Or run a circular route Minn. to Sturgis, to Yellowstone, , through Grand Teton Natl Park, south through the Rockies toward Denver, then retrace your path, or make a cicular route and haul azz home through Nebraska. The Nebraska Sandhills are breathtaking. (The whole trip would be 2600 miles of the prettiest land Amerca has to offer.)

I would take the circular route.

Up around lake Superior. 5 days would be a nice pace, lots of beautiful scenery.

Pack for 5 days, grab a map and head out. Pick a town off your favorite road and go from there.

I would go west and see the badlands of SD and then head North and see the Theodore Roosevelt NP in ND.

check to see if the N.H.R.A. national drags or the A.M.A. pro dirt track is running anything fairly close. a day at the races is a nice break after a couple of long days in the saddle.
