the "road" would be the western half of the Trans American Trail:

ANY back road in the Rocky Mt's would work for me. After 4 days riding the Denver area in '06 I can't wait to go back again.

There are a bunch of the popular roads I've ridden, and a few I haven't been on.

Of the ones I've ridden, I'd recommend the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton first and foremost, for fun road and beautiful scenery.

The Pacific Coast Highway honestly isn't all that fun. It's dotted with little towns, a million RVs, idiots crossing the yellow line, and wind that is so ferocious it could knock you smooth over the guardrail if you got caught not paying attention just once. I've ridden all of it, but I doubt I will again unless whoever I'm with just insists. Sorry, California. You've got the roads, just way too many people on the coast.

A particularly fun road I remember is Highway 120 in California, between Benton and Lee Vining. It's just east of Yosemite. FUN road.

Highway 189 just south of Jackson, Wyoming is pretty nice too. Can't forget Highway 152 in Gila National Forest in New Mexico either.

Of the roads I have not ridden, these are the four at the top of my list.

Blue Ridge Parkway and the Gap for obvious reasons.
Lolo Pass in Idaho (Winding Road next 77 miles sign)
The Haul Road to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. This one is by far the most dangerous, and the one I want the most! ETA: My reading comprehension sucks. The weather on this road is anything *but* perfect.
