He needs to go to Montrose CO and take the 550 south to Durango. It's the Million Dollar Highway and is one of the best motorcycle roads in the west.
One warning: I rode Grand Junction to Durango twice a week over Red Mountain, Molas, and Coal Bank passes on a motorcycle from May to Oct. Even in August it can snow on the top of the passes.

Motorcycles and snow/ice do not mix, even rain on Red Mountain can be tricky.
