I'm with you, I think that pendulum has swung to young women. I know they are the majority of the crazy young drivers that I see (I was one of those at that age).
The thing that amazes me is how few young motorcycle riders I see. To me it's the perfect way to challenge mortality AND fear at the same time...
It will end up like just north of where I live, women on 4 wheelers, horses, and motorbikes. You are right there are few young people on motorbikes and most of the young ones in Alaska are women. I' waiting for the hunting and fishing take over by the women next.
