[Go-getter]

I'm about to set up a longer term (2y+) homebase somewhere I can continue building my business(es) AND have a dope-ass lifestyle.

Budget - ~$4-5k/month (i.e. spending budget - it's about 1/3 of my actual income)

Criteria:

- Warm climate
- Winding mountain roads with little traffic and good surface
- Exotic women (I'm originally from EE. I'm really into Asian women but also Latinas, Black, etc.)
- Good amount of well educated women
- Good for daygame
- Reasonably developed
- Preferably in Asia or with good flight connections to there (my business requires visits to China for manufacturing few times per year)
- Established motorcycle culture is a BIG plus

After having visited Taipei last month, I've been really enthusiastic about picking it as the next home base.

Some pros are:

- Developed, 1st world-like country
- Reasonably good for motorcycling (but not the best): tons of twisty mountain road, pretty nice infrastructure, and a fairly developed big bike culture compared to other Asian countries
- Lots of hot women, with plenty of them educated/westernized
- Taipei is decent for daygame - check.
- Sweet spot between not being a cheap travel/expat destination like Bangkok or Saigon, but not being really expensive like Japan or Hong Kong
- Good quality of life, super nice people, convenient, safe, clean, etc.
- Already speaking Mandarin and want to level it up
- It's pretty easy to issue yourself a visa and become a resident, and you get a great healthcare (for really cheap) to boot
- Close to China Mainland and always just a flight away from Hong Kong, where I usually enter

So Taiwan is looking pretty good, and definitely checks off a lot of boxes simultaneously.

But I do have some concerns, namely that it just isn't the most optimal place for someone like me who wraps their life around motorcycle passion.

There's no doubt much better places for riding motorcycles alone, like Spain, Southern California, maybe Japan - just to name a few.

Also, my bank roll allows me to travel quite extensively, so I could also visit those more dope places to ride motorcycles at, while retaining a home base that makes sense on a lot of levels.

I guess I'm 70% set on Taiwan, but wanted to ask for other suggestions and make sure I make an educated decision before I go "all in". As well as get some ideas for locations to consider in the future - I don't plan on staying in Asia forever and want to eventually try South America, etc.

So the question from the title remains:

What are the best places with an overlap of these 2 things?
- Great for riding motorcycles
- Great for meeting and laying hot women

I have only rode in Thailand, Japan and Taiwan. Of the three, I prefer Japan.

Access to 400cc enduro or supermotard bikes in Japan is good. 400 is plenty for all the twisties and having big brakes is ideal. Some roads are even one way up and down the mountains. Japanese roads are among the best in the world and the country is safe, clean and organized.

Girls that like bikers will be even more curious about a foreigner on a bike.

Japan can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be.

I too like Taiwan, and I do some business in China as well. Taiwan is a good spot for me, like China light. It has good nature and parks and some decent roads in the north, and the south looks good for beaches.

Taiwan has a bit of culture of hate toward mopeds, and sometimes motorbikes get lumped into that group. Drivers can be reckless toward bikers, so much more awareness is needed in Taiwan.

How did you the girlies treat you in tapei? Did you make it down south to the 2nd largest city... which do you prefer?

I live in phils and heard Negros in general is amazing for riding..im not a big rider but I can tell you it is amazing but NOT safe in any sort of way so I mean...

Why don't you want to live in mainland China, it has plenty of good places to motorcycle. Taiwan is too small.

Spain seems like a good choice and you can ride all around the neighbouring countries as well obviously. Depending on what city you choose it can be relatively cheap.
