As a longtime motorcyclist I’m keenly aware of the emblem seen on many Honda motorycycles over the past six decades — a wing. In my younger days I never gave that emblem much thought, other than a passing, “Yeah, a wing. Whatever. How fast does this bike go again?” But that wing emblem came back to me after flying up to Pebble Beach in the new HondaJet last week. I did some research and it turns out Soichiro Honda put the wing on one of his first machines, a 1948 Honda scooter, in homage to the oft-winged Nike and Victory gods from Greek and Roman mythology.
