Mike Saxby

Mike is a born and raised Alaskan that has been with MotoQuest since the summer of 2018. Starting as a seasonal hire mechanic he worked his way up to running the MotoQuest service department and the Anchorage location. He had a late but hot start riding motorcycles at the age of 20. Armed with a new friend hearing a passing comment of “Yea, I might like to learn to ride one day” and that guy’s Suzuki B-King, 10 mins later his motorcycle addiction began. Within a couple months he had 2 crusty craigslist motorcycles parked in his apartment kitchen. Mike is a man of many hats but spent most of his professional time as a Mechanic on a variety of equipment and as a Tool man in Prudhoe Bay, AK. He has a love for riding dirt, traveling new places and customizing his motorcycles and adventure rigs.
