Sounds like a lot of fun and as Alex said you've got your head around the things you need to be thinking about.

Thought occurred to me as I was reading this again, how do they secure the bike on the auto train? Car's are no big problem, drive on, put it in park and set the brake. But a motorcycle? Might want to look into that if you haven't already. If they give you some attachment points in the rail car you could carry a couple of ratchet tie-downs. WalMart will have them for just a few bucks and they don't weigh much or take up much space.
