Amarillo - I40 E end of town "The Big Texan" good food reasonably priced and stop by "Cadillac Ranch" at the other end of town.
Albuquerque - Take the "Turqouise Trail" Hwy14 to Madrid
The least amount of traffic through Dallas is on I-20, the southern part. Even then it's nuts. But it's better than going though the middle or the northern part.
If you are going through Amarillo, stay overnight, go to Palo Duro Canyon and enjoy the musical, TEXAS. BBQ dinner there before. The Big Texan is a great tourist stop and actually pretty good steak AND they will pick you up at your hotel in a long-horn fronted classic limousine for free!
There is Red River Harley as well - very friendly folks. Also check out Scooterz bar in Amarillo. In nearby Canyon (I think) is the Plains museum - great museum with full size turn of the century exhibits.
There is not a lot of great sights between Amarillo and Albequerque until you're almost into NM. But you can travel through some parts of old Route 66.
