Federal Moto Tramp Sign

A tramp never works if it can be avoided; he simply travels. A re-imagining of the signs used by hobos and tramps in the late 1800's / early 1900's. To cope with the uncertainties of hobo life, they developed a system of symbols, or a visual code. Hobo or tramps would write this code with chalk or coal to provide directions, information, and warnings to others in "the brotherhood".

This is my version of those signs, with a couple extras tossed in for the nomadic motorcyclist.
