Err, it's a bike trip. Why not just ride down?

Or am I missing something?

time, we may only have 3-4 days and want to spend them on the best roads, thats why im asking for recomendations.

Fergus has posted something about a track day at Jerez

You give the organisers your bike then fly out to meet it

See the track day thread at the top

There was a train that took cars from Belgium to Milan overnight. I guess they would take bikes.

I'll see if I can hunt down details....

Have a look at Motorail

They do trains through France which should get you close to Alps or Pyranees.

You need to contact them for prices. Might also be worth looking at overnight ferries to Santander, there's usually discount codes in some of the bike mags.

I've used the Motorail. We had two DRZ400 trailies. The train may clatter along an old branch line, and be relatively expensive, but it will get you there.

Read this, my v. brief report on using it and why.
