Not looking for the longest road here, just the longest road that goes in a straight line.

This question came up in Yahoo answers several months ago and no good answer came up... so here I go.
According to what I found the longest in America is in N. Dakota and is 123 miles, or 196.8km without turns.

Now I did read that a guy trying to set the worlds record for a wheelie on a motorcycle flew to Saudi Arabia. Where he found the longest stretch of straight road on the globe. It is a private highway built for King Faad to get to one of his palaces. I know that in 1984 Doug Domokos rode a wheelie 145 miles.. I think he was the guy.
Happy Holidays

I also found the following and the title says longest straight road but wikipedia doesnt state that. It must have curves:
The Pan-American Highway begins in Alaska. It passes through Canada the United States and Mexico. Then it continues down the West Coast of South America all the way to Chile. Altogether, the highway passes through 12 counties. It passes through jungles and mountains, the road is approx. 16,000 miles long. At this time, only one 54 mile stretch of the road remains to be completed.
