Hey bikeguys , havent been on here for some time now. Laptop died and I couldnt log in for some reason and server didnt send a new password. So months later it finally did when I reset it again.
Feels good to be back though this place looks pretty dead.
Anyways my boss here in Norway thought it'd be great to go to Miami. We will be there for a week and the last 3 days were going to Miami international boat show 2015 (im a boatbuilder / welder)
So the first 3-4 days I could go walkabout.
Any suggestions Welcome what to do, where to go?
Thanks.

Hit up Dick
Edit: Also take the time to go look at old, retired Canadians

If you're coming to the states for the first time I'd suggest you visit a different state besides Florida, as in anywhere else. That state is definition of awful.

All those stereotypes you hear of Americans on the internet, all come true in Florida.

Accurate.

I know some Floridians and they are all quintessential 'muricah.
-
Some of the nicest guys I've ever met live in Florida. I've only really explored the Sarasota/Tampa area though so i can't help you much on the Miami scene.
-
Lots of cocaine
-
You'll enjoy Texas more. Fuck Florida.
-
If you like trailer parks, shitty beer, tramp stamps and bugs you'll love it. And every time ive ever been there its been miserably hot and humid. id rather hang out in new jersey then florida. fuck florida place is an asshole.
-
I went to Florida around this time a few years ago and it was awesome.
-
Also, go to a Florida Panthers game. Something like 14 bucks will get you a ticket, 2 beers and 2 hot dogs if the rumour is true. They literally give their tickets away, and can only get dozens of people to show up for the games.
-
you have to embrace the stereotypes.
few things i would try to do:
shoot a shotgun
see a gator
go muddin'
one of those hovercrafts in the everglades
wear an all white suit in miami
watch cuban guys crush playin' baseball
-
Talk to James (Farva, aka Native bikes) and see what he can put together. I'd definitely do some Murrican stuff while down there and have a good time.

Woah, I didn't realize so many other people hated Florida..
I spent a few days there and the humidity was the most uncomfortable thing in the world, I couldn't breathe, sleep, eat, anything.. I tried to make the best of it but god damn did it suck.
Sketchy Hatian dudes were everywhere and we were deliving a Lamboghini in a downtown area, which was really fucking sketchy.. Compton, CA felt like a playground compared to that.
You'll probably see Gators, they're more common than I expected.. there's the highlight.
-
Y'all sound like a bunch of salty pussies. I love/hate this damn place, it could be the reason why I hate people.
-
If the timing is right go to the Daytona 500 on Feb 22.
-
Go to the King of Diamonds stripclub.
-
Buy an orange, I hear they're good in Florida.
-
...yeah...oranges....

True, it's Florida, but Miami is its own thing.
The Urbanist’s Miami: Street art, shrimp shacks, and show-pony mansions.
http://nymag.com/travel/features/miami-2013-4/ (http://nymag.com/travel/features/miami-2013-4/)
As the notorious home—or at least vacation home—of NBA superstars, Latina pop queens, drug kingpins, and, these days, the sisters Kardashian, Miami is easy to dismiss as just a sun-addled tropical playground. But it’s also an art mecca during Basel, a rave at the Winter Music Conference, a capital of international investment, and, of course, one of America’s most dynamic cities. Around 37 percent of the metro area’s 5.5 million inhabitants are foreign-born—a higher proportion than anywhere else in the country. Among those Cuban, Haitian, Brazilian, and Russian newcomers are “Gateway to Latin America” businessmen, political exiles, and vodka magnates, many of whom are snapping up the sort of ostentatious properties that make Miami’s turbulent real-estate market so famous. There are new hotels (in Miami, there are always new hotels), like the Philippe Starck– and Lenny Kravitz–designed SLS, as well as a $312 million overhaul of the Design District and an ever-evolving Herzog & de Meuron parking garage that is a feat of architectural splendor. To counter all that swankiness: world-class graffiti, copious thrift shops, heaps of fried shrimp in Little Havana, and enough rough-around-the-edges allure to make the South Floridian city spectacularly, perennially irresistible.

I live on the other coast of Florida. But Ive been to miami a fair amount of times. Just check out downtown and south beach for the tourist stuff. The art district is very nice too. It can get wild down there so just be smart about how you act. Although 50% of the folks there are vististing aswell. Also I suggest going into any given Walmart in ft Lauderdale around 8pm, that's where it really gets intense.
-
Been to a walmart in Orlando.. was something else.
-
^^^ hahahahaha actually loled :D
-
go to wherever they had the banned in the backyard jam
