Hey there,

so I need some serious help. Riding to school today my motorcycle tire went completely flat. I managed to push it back home, but I shouldn't ride on it anymore in its current state. I think the tube on the inside is broken up because I can't find any damages on the outside. I have no way of taking it to the honda dealer or taking off the tire. If anyone has a truck or a way for me to take the tire off (last time I took the tire off by lifting it onto a milk crate, but I had help then) please let me know.

2004 VLX Honda Shadow 600cc most likely.

Do you still have the milk crate? Do you have the tools to take off the rear tire? Do you have a new tube? Do you have an air compressor?

I don't have any of those things. I do have the milk crate, but when we used it last time we were able to suspend it from my garage as well...

I have the tools that come with my motorcycle repair kit, but I know I am missing one important one.

I think the plan is going to have to be to take it to the dealer and get it done. As of now my problem is that its a tubeless tire with a tube in it. The dealer is going to want to replace everything. I guess without resources I am going to have to let this small problem turn into a 250dollar crisis.

Yeah, a 600 honda shadow. nice guess :D
