Boycott, anyone?

On another motorcycle forum I spend time in, someone pointed out that CafePress, a manufacturer and vendor of bumper stickers, t-shirts, hats, and so forth with custom logos and printing on them also makes bumper stickers declaring "I Hit Motorcycles". http://www.cafepress.com/gabrielangel/1741483

I find this to be very disingenuous, because they also are the supplier of logo products for the Phoenix Motorcycle Riders Group (of which I am a member). Even if meant humorously, advocating violence against a segment of society is disgusting, and to also receive revenue from this same group is immoral. I have notified the PMRG leadership about this and they are going to take action.

We all know how dangerous the roads are for riders and to make light of the thousands of riders killed and injured every year really grinds my gears.

I suggest each of you take a minute to contact this company and let them know what real bikers think about these bumper stickers. I'd bet they wouldn't print "I hit Jews" or "I Hit Homosexuals" bumper stickers because they are offensive. I see no difference with motorcycles.

Thanks for your time.
