Montana SR's 28 and 200 (2002)- I combined these roads into one ride.  Great riding.  Scenic and twisty.  Lots of elevation.  Green mountains and clear streams guide you along these great roads.  No traffic, in between the friendly frontier towns.  In 2005 I picked the route back up near Missoula and rode it across the plains to North Dakota.  A great ride past green buttes and pastures.  A number of high speed run outs just for fun.  

U.S. 12 Lewiston-Missoula, Lolo Pass ( 2005)  One of the most famous roads in motorcycling, I don't know what I can add that has not already been written.  A nice ride up and over the Bitterroot Mountains, the pat of Lewis and Clark, 77 miles of twisty ribbon.  Pockets of traffic are common near Lewiston and Missoula, but don't last long.  The curves are mostly sweepers, but as you approach Lolo Pass the intensity picks up.
