I have a friend whose father wants to come here to visit her and bring his vintage motorbike. She doesnt want him to ride it here on account of age and health. Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas on how to get him and the bike here that is not excessively expensive ? He would be coming from the London area down to Piemonte. Thanks

The AutoSlaap from Holland would take him and his bike down to Alessandria, but this would involve a little riding I'm afraid.

I would think its doable for him, I assume he's still a capable rider.
Depending where he is in the UK he could ideally take a ferry to the hook of holland then avoiding rush hour traffic ride to the station.
It's doable and especially if he's staying for a longer period of time.
In case he has a real collectible bike the insurance on the train is capped at Eur 37,500.
Good luck
