Vacation suggestions needed.

[lead_magnet]

So here is the deal, I have up to two weeks off, a new motorcycle (not new to riding by any means), and nowhere to go.

Where would you guys recommend going? I'm pretty much open to anything, but there are a few things I'd like to avoid.
#1.) I don't wanna ride somewhere just to ride a specific road, so no looking for deal's gap or the twisted sisters ect., if one happens to be on the way then cool, but not my destination
#2.) Already been to San Fransisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Antonio, and I've seen about as much of Colorado to last me a lifetime so looking for something not mountainy (Just made my own word)

Other than that she's fair game. My bike doesn't have luggage or a wind screen so I can't go 800 mile days but I figure 500 - 600 is doable at max, I can do Denver and back in a day easy which is about 300.

I've got a fairly loose schedule but I'm looking at right around 14 days to pull this off, and July 4th will probably be right in the middle of my two week ride.

Some ideas I've pondered:
Jacob's well in Texas seems cool, Key West is a bit of a stretch but considering it, never been to New Orleans, or much of Arkansas, had a good time in Minnesota when I was a kid.

Other things to consider, I've got a free place to stay in Las Vegas, Columbus OH, Chicago, Virginia and New Jersey.

What can you guys come up with? Where would you go? What would you want to see or do?

Sedona is incredible, also going to Seattle is a great ride (though depending on when your time is it might be rainy crossing over the hill from the east part of the state to the west). Being from NJ no way in hell I'd go there LOL.

A North to northwest loop might be a nice road trip this time of the year. Something like Denver, mount Rushmore / black hills, yellowstone, other places to stop until you reach Seatle. Olympic NP, come back throug Oregon.

I personally rode in Virginia, MD and around DC one spring and it was nice to see all the civil war battlefield. But i would not recommend it in summer.... Way too hot on a bike to be safe.

One other place I liked: Rode from here to Nashville and spend a few day in rural Tennesse. Aside from crossing through Kansas it was a nice (but long) ride.

I think a NW tour would be a good idea too. The weather would be nice and there's lots to do.

We are entering the dry season in the Puget Sound area; the weather should be good. The coastal highways from WA to Astoria, Oregon are nice as well; lots to see and do up there.

I did a trip up through Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, which included Rocky Mountain National park, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacier. Seriously one of the best things I have done in my life. In all of that, 9 total miles of Interstate highway, the rest was all 2 lane.

2nd, although we did it RV style and just up through the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone.

Don't discount a "mountainy" trip just for the sake of the boring Colorado Rocky Mountains.

The July 4 traffic is likely gonna put a damper on being alone on those popular stretches.

Did a 3 week ride a few years ago (okay over 2 decades ago) that went north to Yellowstone, hit Glacier and went to Idaho Falls, Yakima, Vancouver (Canada). Went south doing parts of the PCH and then turned west at Redding (Day at Redding Jet Center), Reno, Moab on the way back. Went fishing in the mornings, did some touristy things some days, played pool at night. Had a blast with 2 good friends.

Follow the "Old Route 66". Stay to the older 2 lane parts that still exist. Beautiful scenery, lots of old nearly ghost towns, and the old tourist traps abandoned or still in business.
Head toward Yuma, AZ. and visit the old territorial prison.
