Why, there was a dry line next to the puddle? In northeastern Ohio I totaled my 22 CB500X last Sept on a dirt/gravel road riding through clay water puddles 3 to 6 inches deep. Came to one that had 3 inches of clay water on top, but also 25 inches of soft clay. Clay stopped the bike, keeping it upright, I flipped through the windscreen landing on my back. Air intake was below the level of the water, hydro locked the motor, totaled the bike. No cell service, walked 1/2 mile to a farm, the owner pulled the bike out with his dump truck. Be diligent of the hidden dangers lurking under puddles.
I have tried that dry path, not really visible from this angle, but my bike stuck on centre stand, so had mo option just to go through puddle. Also my friend went through first on his CRF300L. So i have seen how deep it is ;) sad to hear that your bike was totalled
