That's neat and all if you're planning on running toll booths... I'd be more concerned about being pulled over for having the vertical tag (by Johnny Law who "just knows that is illegal"), and being able to defend myself with the actual Florida Statute, especially if I was given a ticket and wanted to contest it:
316.2085(3)
The license tag of a motorcycle or moped must be permanently affixed to the vehicle and remain clearly visible from the rear at all times. Any deliberate act to conceal or obscure the legibility of the license tag of a motorcycle is prohibited. The license tag of a motorcycle or moped may be affixed horizontally to the ground so that the numbers and letters read from left to right. Alternatively, a license tag for a motorcycle or moped for which the numbers and letters read from top to bottom may be affixed perpendicularly to the ground. Notwithstanding the authorization to affix the license tag of a motorcycle or moped perpendicularly to the ground, the owner or operator of a motorcycle or moped shall pay any required toll pursuant to s. 316.1001 by whatever means available.

It actually appears that this has been amended since the last time I looked at it, the old requirement specifically stated "provided that the registered owner of the motorcycle or moped maintains a prepaid toll account in good standing and a transponder associated with the prepaid toll account is affixed to the motorcycle or moped.", but that language appears to have been removed. So, according to current Florida law, you can have a vertical license plate on a motorcycle as long as you don't run tolls.
