I feel like writing all of these down and putting them on a motorcycle bucket list.
Something clever here.

Skyline, Shenandoah National Park. Buy local, as the saying goes.
Have yet to venture South of Big Meadows, but maybe someday.
First time I took my wife on it, there were so many buses full of Chinese tourists she began to think she was back home.

Sir David, my picture, from the web, handier, is Ontario 502, Fort Frances, to Dryden, Ontario. For you it'd be a hop, skip, and a jump. We should make plans, we could fish a few days!

Another is SR 92 from Highland, Utah to American Fork Canyon up and over the Alpine Loop into Provo Canyon. Fall colors as pretty as anything you'll ever see. LinkAnother is SR 92 from Highland, Utah to American Fork Canyon up and over the Alpine Loop into Provo Canyon. Fall colors as pretty as anything you'll ever see. Link Yes it is! Even though I’m somewhat color blind, it is a pretty drive.....early summmer or fall. The “huge” negative......too many people! memtb

I really love the drive into Lake Tahoe....

From here following the Payette River to north of Lowman, then from Stanley to Salmon and beyond along the upper Salmon River.
Hwy 1 Ca Morrow Bay to San Simeon.
Oregon coast
Columbis River gorge.
Beartooth Hwy
And I have been meanining to do Hwy 2 across N. WA..
Enjoyable changes Hwy could be I-70 from I-15 in Utah to Denver.
I really enjoy some of central Nevada off the freeway, sagebrush and mountains, not many people.

Either Glenwood canyon or the wind river canyon during a full moon after a snowfall is like driving through pure silver. Also, I70 over the San Rafael swell.

Just the drive to the boat ramp.

Highway 170 from Lajitas, TX to Presidio, TX along the Rio Grande.
Just awesome.

The most fun I've had on a motorcycle was on US 129 from NC into TN a little way. 318 curves in 11 miles, many of them nearly 180 degrees. https://maps.roadtrippers.com/stories/tail-of-the-dragonHas some good views if you stop to look.

us395 sucks
Highway 67 from Cripple Creek, CO, to Divide, in late Sept.-early Oct. is much better!

Princes Highway, it follows the southern coast through New South Wales and Victoria. I didn't make it to the part that goes through South Australia. No pictures, it was years before the advent of digital cameras.

One of my "favorites" is CA hwy 299 from the coast near Arcata up through the Trinity River canyon to Redding CA.
Another might be the Avenue of the Giants in Redwood country.
Driving west from Cedarville CA on 299 over Cedar Pass and seeing Mt Shasta over 100 miles away is pretty stunning too.
89 (?) From Flagstaff to Sedona ain't a bad one. (or going the other direction)
US 60 (?) from Show-Low to Globe is kinda cool.
The Apache Trail is wonderful.
Too many more to list.
Even the drive from town to my house is much better than any commute in a city.
