Raven Bike by Bob Spina
A few posts back, we brought you a teaser of a story titled ‘Project Raven‘, a 2008 Harley-Davidson FLHX Street Glide painted by Bob Spina of Las Vegas, and owned by Mike ‘Old Skool’ of Wasilla, Alaska. At the time we previewed ‘Project Raven’ she was not yet officially ‘The Raven Bike’ - she was still a work in process. Now, she’s finished and ready to roll, and soon will find her way north to Alaska. We thought we’d bring you an updated post in all her beauty, unveiled and presented at the Las Vegas Harley-Davidson dealership, where ‘Ol Skool’ first acquired the spankin’ new and yet untouched not-so-raven bike.

Old Skool makes sure you know his clan, and his totem rides proudly up front.
A beautiful bike from any angle.
The details are great with the gold leaf flames surrounded by tons of color.
A view from behind.
Mike aka ‘Old Skool’ with Diane, along with Bob Spina, share in the unveiling of The Raven Bike aka ‘New Skool’.
Old Skool takes the Raven out for a spin before dropping her off to get shipped to Alaska.
With The Raven Bike safely at LVHD, Lady Di (aka ‘Mrs. Old Skool’ aka ‘Diane’) gets some fresh ink from Joey at Ink Inc Tattoo. Pictured above is Old Skool with his fresh tat by Joey a couple of days earlier, forever linking him to the Raven Bike and the totem that it honors.
Paint to the max - definitely! Great job Bob. Thanks for sharing.
