Leaving LA and driving to Baltimore this coming Saturday, gonna take a week for the drive. Any suggested routes or Must Drive roads I should try and take?

Stay South unless you don't mind the chance of bad weather. Two years ago I drove from Chicago to Seatttle and hit a bad storm in Denver.

Yes, the Dragon is a must.
Did that 10yrs ago on a CBR1000f in the Rain!
Thanks for the reminder!

Be careful about going through Virginia. No radar detectors allowed there, 20 mph over the limit is 'reckless driving', and they like to give tickets. I got a ticket on Skyline Drive a couple months ago.

Sounds like a great trip! Regret not doing something like this before I sold my TT. IF you have time stay off the interstates as much as you can. There are some beautiful U.S. highway roads.

If you stay south around San Antonio. Cut off of I 10 to 335, 336, and 337. They are great. If you don't go that far south, the roads up in Arkansas, SE OK are very nice. NC/TN/VA mountains a must. Drive it like you stole it! I drove from Portland to San Antonio with mine. I had a blast. Even with rain through all of CA and snow in the pass for OR/CA. Enjoy.

If the weather is cooperative and you don't mind going a bit further north US12 accross Southern Utah is spectacular.
