Now that's what I'm talking about! I will caution you, be prepared to gouge your eyes out until you hit Salt Lake City. It will be boring and flat until you get that far.
Otherwise, I would suggest a detour west out of Salt Lake City to see and ride on the Bonneville Salt Flats. For speed freaks/gearheads, it's a spiritual experience. Just be damn sure you hose your bike down really good at the convenience store just off the highway. The water hose is behind the building, north side.
