> I would never ride that bike 220 miles straight it kills my back to ride it for more than 40 miles. Plus I would end up with another car stranded in Buffalo. Unless I rented a car to drive home and rode the bike back. The Night Rod is definatly not a long haul bike. Too much of a stretch.

I have a VTX1800. Similar type bike as your Night Rod. I usually ride 220 miles in a day, here locally. Last year, I rode it to NC to ride US129 (Tail of the Dragon) & did 1700 miles in 5 days.

220 miles aint nothing. Personally, I would look into making it a nicer trip by taking all back roads & avoiding all Highways. I’d make it a 300 mile trip at least 😃
