At a Loss for words.

Two weeks ago I picked up my 2013 CB1100. I took this bike out all weekend. I loved it. I enjoyed it. was one of the smoothest bikes I have ever ridden.

Well the Wednesday after I bought it was a beautiful day. I decided to drive it into work. Half way there I realized I needed gas and jumped off the interstate to an area I am unfamiliar with other than I know there is a gas station. I was rounding a turn and to my dismay there was a SUV over the middle lane. My thoughts "This is gonna SUCK!" I am in the middle of a turn and have no choice but to stand the bike up to miss the SUV. I try to get back into the lean before it was too late but it was not.
I saw a grassy area immediately to the right with no trees and knowing I am about to lay my bike down decided to try and guide it there. The bad part of this, there was a really BIG rock; you can even call it a boulder, in this grassy patch that I did not see. I came in full contact with the rock.
The good news I was wearing all the right safety gear and was able to walk away with only scrapes and bruises. And yeah that rock knocked me upside the head so hard I got knocked out, so I didn’t even have to feel the pain until later.
I got checked out at the local hospital and no major damage to me. On the other hand, I didn’t even have my CB1100 a full week and insurance is telling me it is a total loss.
We will see if the money from insurance will allow me to get a new one of if I am out of luck. I will keep you posted.
