I’m kind of surprised HD doesn’t have a trunk monkey for this sort of thing.
Should come with a tour pack as much as they cost.

Just park in a handicap spot or in those hash marks at the end of the parking lot. If none of those spots are available park on the sidewalk in front of the store.

I've done that before, when parking lots were real crowded. Parked on the sidewalk. Never had anyone say a word about it. Bike felt much safer there.
