This was at like 7:30 AM and it was below freezing... he just tried to take off around the corner in the neighborhood in the bike just went down - slid right out from under him.
The bike had frame sliders and bar ends that absorbed most of the impact, but the tail section hit the ground and is scraped, the mirror is damaged, and the windscreen was scraped up from the mirror swinging into it. Also, the rear powdercoated peg was scraped up pretty badly.
