OK! Thank you Adam - for the ASL corrections.

I really learned something and I appreciate it… Adam taught me that the detailed facial expression, which I wrote with air coming out of the mouth and moving lips, that was a VERB, because it shows “how” the motorcycle action takes place, but the simple sign without the facial expression is the basic NOUN. Am I correct to understand this, Adam?

So both entries of MOTORCYCLE could be in the dictionary but it needs to be stated that one is a VERB and the other is a NOUN?

So Hector, thank you for your great video of the mouth movements and I guess your sign was a verb, taking action of really driving the motorcycle, not just the simple machine sitting in our neighbor’s garage, which is a noun…smile…and there really is a neighbor like this - their garage is filled with motorcycles!

Here is my new sentence with a Topic Marker (eyebrows up) on both MY and NEIGHBOR - makes sense too -

So how does this look?
