Figured I’d also do one for the city in FL I moved here from.
-Pros
Warm, sunny weather year-round, and rainstorms that you can see coming from a mile away. The weather never sneaks up on you.
Well-maintained roads everywhere you go and nary a pothole to be found.
The sawgrass expressway – a toll highway where speed laws are NEVER enforced and you’re often the only car on the road.
The beach is nearby.
Wonderful sights to see along the way if you’re riding from the east coast to the gulf coast.
-Cons
All the roads are perfectly straight. The road map reads like a grid, making sportbikes totally pointless to own. Cruisers are the only bikes worth owning here.
The streets are densely populated with elderly people who lost their ability to see and to hear a long time ago, yet still have drivers’ licenses.
Laws are not motorcycle friendly, and an abundance of one percenters in the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale areas mean that everyone on 2 wheels has to suffer the consequences for their stupidity.
Warm year-round can also be read as “hot and humid” with temperatures going into the 90s and humidity upwards of 95%. Mesh jackets are the only kind of riding gear that isn’t unbearable in the summertime.
