Looks like you've planned out a great little scoot across the country. my only suggestion is to see what you want in Montana and then drop south through Yellowstone and head east across the Beartooth Highway (11000 ft) and then into South Dakota. as Rex the Road Dog said snow is a possibility in September but the last time i was on the Beartooth it was the first week in Sept. and all was well. |

Thank you Cactus. I love the road and have been there before. The only reason I am not doing it this time is because it will add a full day to the trip and I am coming back that way from the Black Hills in June. |

Your Fl. plan looks okay, down the east side, up the west, word of caution, rush hour traffic anywhere near Jax., Daytona and south of West Palm Beach suck's, be on your toes or try to plan better hours if possible. |

Too much super slab on that route stick to the secondaries that's where you are going to find America. I drive truck for a living and used to run 48. I have always wanted to just park the truck for a few months and just roam America on the backroads because I never had time to stop in the truck. These days because of work constraints I stay with in about 600mi of home on the bike. |

Thanks Flatlander, I plan to avoid rush hour around any big town if at all possible. Worst case the GPS can show me the surface streets that I can use to avoid the hwy's. I have become pretty good at it. IrishmanOhio, I don't really want to run the hwy's as much as I am, but I have to because of time restraints. I only have 3 weeks to do this. That is why I posted up here, to see if there are any routes that are close by where I am going that will get me where I need to go within a reasonable amount of time. Thanks! |

Between Daytona and Vero Beach on Rt.1 is my favorite coastline ride, there's still cattle in some spots and time has come to a standstill since the seventy's when Kennedy Space Center had it's lay off. The pristine Indian River is next to you most of the way with many great places to stop. A1A oceanside is real busy and overbuilt most of the way, prettiest ocean riding is just north of Daytona through Ormond Beach and a couple hours south around Sebastian Inlet. I live 35 miles north of West Palm Beach in a little town Palm City within minutes of the ocean, I-95 and the Turnpike if you want to make a pit stop. My favorite riding is 75 miles north west, the Sebring area, all old towns where 17 cuts through the middle of the state on the old wagon trails, Old Downtown Sebring is to die for, absolutely beautiful. |
