    We traveled with IMT bike on a self guided tour of Northern Spain. It was quite an adventure. My wife and I rode our own motorcycle which we had shipped from Canada. We had been riding in Europe for nearly eight weeks when we arrived in Spain to meet some friends who had come over from Canada. The friends rented motorcycles from IMT bikes. We rode from Barcelona to Northern Spain via the Pyrenees. What an adventure. I hope your trip went well.

      Glad you like them! On the first night, Rick ran into a wall in our room in the dark. Got a black eye. Thank you for asking.

    Great video. Curious how your experience was flying with multiple stops from U.S. to Madrid. Any issues with checked luggage and all the bike gear? Anything get lost or delayed? Did you carry helmets with you or in checkin bag? I am in Wash./DC area and surprise I cannot get a direct flight to either Madrid or Malaga.

      Since we live in the Seattle area, there aren't any direct flights to Spain. My husband and I are both skiers so we used our ski boot bags for all our motorcycle gear, including our helmets. We used the padding from our jackets and pants to pad the helmet. Those bags were checked in. We didn't have any problems with our checked luggage.
      We flew British Airways with a 3 hour layover in London Heathrow. I always plan a 3-4 hour layover at Heathrow in case there are any delays with our flight, and the time to go through passport control, customs, and terminal changes. There aren't any direct flights to Spain from Sea-Tac Airport. I'm surprised you can't find a direct flight to Madrid from the east coast.
      If you go, have a great trip. Motorcycling in Spain and Portugal was beautiful and fun. Most drivers are motorcycle friendly. Here's a link to IMTBike's website: www.imtbike.com/
