I'm meeting up with an old college friend later this summer for a long weekend motorcycle trip. We live several hundred miles apart and to maximize riding time both of us are trailering our bikes to a meeting point halfway between our home addresses. Any suggestions on a good, safe place to leave our SUVs/trailers over a couple of nights while we are touring? I'm not comfortable with the idea of leaving my SUV/trailer in a Walmart parking lot. Maybe I'm wrong. Any ideas? Experience?

 

I would suggest telling folks here where you're going and maybe there's a member on here that lives in the area that would be happy to let you leave your SUV and trailer on their property.

 

Call a Local Harley Dealer, close to where your going to meet....

They will let you park there or give you an idea of where to park...

 

Just ride your bike and don't worry about it, several hundred miles is the same distance on a bike as a cage.......................

 

What's the big deal of several hundred miles apart? Meet halfway and it's a few hours ride. Sorry, but no way I'd see trailering to meet a friend to ride.

 

If you are taking a hotel room for the first night you meet before starting out on your touring, talk to the hotel and see if they will let you leave them in their lot. If they have a big enough lot and its not a particularly busy weekend they should be ok with it, I've been able to do that in the past.

 

Sounds like fun, getting together with an old friend.
I don't understand how trailering your bikes is going to maximize riding time. Your meeting place is gonna be the same distance whether you are riding your scoots or pulling trailers. In fact, you'll probably make better time on 2 wheels. Plus you won't have to waste any time dicking around with loading/unloading, securing 2 trailers, and then be stuck returning to the same place.
I'd just ride mine.
