Thanks for that.
Looking at this, it looks like June might be the month to target so you don't get blistering heat in West Texas or freezing temps up in the mountains.

I'd be interested in tagging along part of the way if the logistics work out.
This thirsty VFR can only make it about 170 miles between fill ups at 80+ mph, so I've got that covered
Prior to motorcycles, I used to do mutli-day bicycle tours that were 10+ hours in the saddle a day. Compared to that, riding the VFR for hours is a piece of cake.
Is the area between Las Vegas and Chama as nice as north of Chama?
Or does it get considerably better in Colorado?
Las Vegas to Chama is quite nice. I've been up through there several times. That said, it DOES get better or more dramatic as you get into Colorado because the mountains get bigger. If I were to live there though, I would prefer the area around Chama because I like the pine forests.
Next 550 south from Delta all the way to Durango or you can loop over to Telluride on 62 then down toward Delores and Cortez then home.
