And if you have a Schwinn...A friend had a Ferrari with a sticker reading 'My other car is a Skoda' ! (It was true, too ) Inverted snobbery , or what? [Skoda, a Czech make, was a much mocked brand a decade or more ago . Now it is owned by VW and the cars constantly win top marks in Europe]
DG says: "I want to find one for my bike that says 'My Other Bike is a Schwinn '"
I made one of Letraset on a strip of Bristolboard and ran it along the inside bottom of my rear window:
"I brake for hallucinations".
Some time later I saw a car with exactly the same message -- on pasteboard and at the bottom of the rear window and in printing that looked like it was done with Letraset!
So, DG...

It is a bumper sticker as well as a car plaque, Kendor. Several spoofs of the Christian fish and the Darwin fish are out there. One has a small Jesus fish about to be eaten by a larger Darwin fish. Another is the reverse. Yet another has the larger fish named "Science" about to eat the smaller fish, named "Myth." Possibly the one I like best is the fish with somewhat vaguely-Hebraic writing inside. A closer look at the writing shows it to read "Gefilte".

Sadly, I’m not “allowed” to put bumper stickers on my new car, but when I had my Jeep I plastered the back of that thing with my opinions. Some of my favorites were: “Change how you see, not how you look.” “You’ll find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. -Obi Wan Kenobi” “I give evolution two opposable thumbs up!” “Buckle up! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car.” “Don’t hold strong opinions about things you don’t understand.”
And, of course: “Just a pirate chasing booty.”
For my current car, my husband has agreed to (but I have not followed through with) the putting of three simple plaques:
the Darwin fish show above
a pentacle
and one that says "CHOICE."
