“Alaska was my biggest dream all my life,” said Diego Saad, who after five years reached the Last Frontier on his motorcycle after setting off from his home in Argentina.
Diego Saad rode his Kawasaki KLR650 from San Martín de los Andes, Argentina to Alaska, a journey than began five years ago. He plans to travel north to the Arctic Circle before turning around and riding home in South America. Photographed at Delaney Park Strip near downtown Anchorage on Tuesday, July 12, 2022.
Saad, who started from his home in South America, said people who ride the journey often start in Alaska and then finish in the city of Ushuaia in Argentina. But he figured it was best to leave from where he lived. He plans to cross into the Arctic Circle soon, north of Fairbanks, to complete his journey and then turn back to head home, which he hopes will only take a few months.
He was fortunate: His bike never broke down. But the trip wasn’t without its trials and difficulties, He said he was stopped by 15 guys with machine guns who asked who he was and what he was doing there. The men started questioning him, and Saad explained his purpose for being there. After checking his bags, the group let him pass, he said.of the trip: when the border closed and he could not leave Mexico for the United States, prompting a two-year stay in the central Mexico city of Querétaro.
