I rode from OKC to Houston, 470 miles with a nail. Not advisable but I had few options. Take a pressure check, ride 30 miles, take a pressure check, ride 30 miles, take a pressure check. That was my advice from shooter and it worked. Walmart sells the plugs you can do by yourself. Be careful whatever your choice is.

Check this thread, especially the beginning. I plugged this tire and rode it for about a week. No issues, at least 500 miles, if not more. If the plug goes in tight and feels good and solid, I'd ride it.

The big issue with a Rear tire going flat as you ride, is the slower speed. At a higher speed you will feel the tire go soft and the rear wiggle a bit, BUT as you get to a very low speed with a flat rear tire, if the bead breaks the rear will wobble back forth and I have seen guys go down trying to get stopped. You already have 9400 miles in it and I am willing to bet that carcass is pretty thin already and not going to hold up well to running soft.
My suggestion is to flip someone a few bucks to help you remove the tire from the bike and get the tire swapped.
I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.
plug it and forget about it. I rode about 7000 miles on a tire I plugged. Deflate the tire. Watch a YouTube video and plug it. Wait several hour to inflate. Check for leaks. Go for small ride. Check again. If no leaks forget about it and ride.
