This 1984 Harley Davidson FXRT Touring Sport Glide Motorcycle is a member of the Dennis Fode Collection of bikes selling NO RESERVE on July 12, 2025 at the 13th Annual Montana Classic Car Auction!
Dennis Fode, living in Anchorage, Alaska, was an avid motorcycle rider and collector. In addition to the 2-wheeled variety, Dennis was also known to find and bring home classic and collector Plymouths as well! As the original owner on many of these bikes, Dennis rode and enjoyed them over the years, many very sparingly. When father time began to gain on Dennis in the early 2000’s the bikes were parked and stored with the majority of them stored in climate controlled facilities, important for the Alaska climate. A few of the bikes even resided in his house!
Following Dennis’ passing, the bikes were brought out of their slumber in 2024 and 2025 and brought to Montana where he had family. The bikes were assessed, prepped and started to prepare them to present at auction. Please note: While the cold start videos indicate the running condition of the bikes, following long term storage they will need additional attention to optimize their mechanical and riding condition.
