SW Vocabulary Lists: Signs for MOTORCYCLE

Thank you everyone, for your signs for MOTORCYCLE.

It looks like the sign is similar in 3 sign languages. But other signs, like TEACHER and others, were very different.

I will work on creating a chart today on the web, where we can compare the vocabulary.

I truly appreciate all your suggestions and contributions - please suggest other signs - every sign is valuable.

Val ;-)

PS. Want to know why I asked for the sign for MOTORCYCLE? I am trying to write this sentence:

“My neighbors have 4 children, 6 bicycles, 7 motorcycles and 5 cars.”

And this is based on a true story. Our neighbors really do have many vehicles. It is a busy street ;-)
