Youth and the motorbike craze

Ever wonder why all of a sudden there are so many motorbikes on the roads or in your community? That is what I wondered. While I am laying and relaxing to some easing music, I am disturbed by the sound of a motorbike riding aggressively up and down in my road. I could swear it is the same the motorbike. Maybe it is a bunch of friends taking turns to ride the motorbike. Do not get me wrong. I do not dislike motorbikes but I do dislike the fact that these kids are riding these motorbikes without license and without proper lessons and here they are going at a high speed and being pulled over by cops. Is it worth it? I’m astounded by how these kids parents even allow them to ride on those motorbikes without attending motorbike classes and having a license. Just now the other day a boy of 18 years old sped down a road, lost control and crashed. His life taken away by speed. Is it worth it? I get that having a motorbike is so much cheaper when it comes to petrol and it gets you faster to your destination than a car but there has to be some sort of responsibility and caution when you are on that motorbike. It is so easy to lose control on two wheels. Youth are crazy about motorbikes, it is the new trend. Trends come and go but I wonder if this trend will ever go.
