Bucket List

Some advice from a local Utahn. Avoid Moab at all cost. It’s the ‘season’ right now. Takes 40 minutes to get from one end of town to the other in stop and go traffic. Parks are closing entrances and limiting entries. Loooong lines at Arches.

Deleted some of my comment as I was under impression you were making Moab part of your destination.

Unfortunately we rode through there, not that we wanted to but it's on the main road. We called it "Slow-ab"...massive tourist trap.

Be glad you’re not taking US 6 from Ely to Tonopah. It’s a beautiful stretch of road if you like desolation but there’s no gas for 170 miles, and it’s difficult to keep your speed below 100-120 mph, so fuel can be an issue. No such difficulty with gas stops on US 50, and you’ll still have an opportunity to really stretch the legs of your K1600, almost with impunity. Just keep an eye on your back tire.

Sounds like a good ride!

Cool that you got to ride Hwy 50" Lonliest Road" offroad.
