Need quick advice please!
I was planning on riding from NJ to TN via Skyline/BRP, leaving tomorrow morning at 5am. Unfortunately it is still raining pretty good here in NJ, however should be clear for me the rest of the ride. I have to be at an event on Sunday afternoon in Nashville until about 7pm, then back in NJ by 9am Monday morning. Should I just suck it up and trailer down to make sure I am home safe(can drive longer than ride on little sleep) or should I ride down and back. Saturday night is gonna be a late and hard one and up early Sunday for the event. So that would be up at 7am on Sunday and ride 14 hours back to NJ for Monday morning. I hate decisions like this...whadda ya guys think?

Have done that ride a couple of times. I'd ride down and back, but that's just me.
But you could have the best of both worlds...
Trailer it halfway, park, and ride the rest of the way.
Then ride back to the trailer, load, then drive the rest of the way home.

Do you have any friends at the Midway point? if so, trailer it to their place and head out from there.

Unfortunately I don't...I may have to trailer this one and set up that Skyline/BRP for another trip. I was actually looking into riding down and flying back but the prices are too much. I could have gone back down in a week or so and get my bike from my buddy's dealership
