Your best bet is to give Jim a call (his number is on the info sheet) and discuss what he thinks will be best for you. . . .
I shall be ambling around the track compared to you.

One very good reason why you should always check your fuel filler cap is securely closed................ 
(from VD)
I went to a garage to put fuel in my bike with a set of full leathers on, what I forgot when I'd finished was to check the petrol filler cap on the tank was secure.
Off I went at great haste popping an odd wheely, after about 5 miles I thought this is getting cold around the gonads and a mile or two on it was really getting uncomfortable and as I looked down I noticed the filler cap was open and most of the petrol had run down the tank and had soaked all my leathers around my groin. By now it was so painfull I had to get off the bike, thinking what am I going to do now?
As it was I stopped by a couple of houses and managed to just about walk to the front door and rang the bell, this poor old lady came to the door and asked what the matter was, I explained the best I could but getting her to ring for an ambulance was all I could think off.
I parked the bike in her garage with the help of her husband and after what seemed like ages the ambulance turned up and took me to hospital.
On arrival I was rushed into casulty and put in a cubical where a nurse came and said they would have to get my leathers off straight away and before I could say anything she whipped out a pair of sissors and cut my leathers off!! I was not happy about it but she wasnt going to argue the point, and at the time nor was I!
So now the leathers are off and a medical examination of my dangle bits by about every staff member that was on duty including the cleaners, the result was a wash with this soapy stuff by a couple of nurses and a load of cream that I must say felt really nice and cool on to the affected areas!
I was told I would have to stay in over night with some clean new cream put on every couple of hours, anyway by the morning the soreness had gone but everything was still a bit red but at least I could go home. My partner came with some clothes and off I went.
I was still pissed off at having to buy new leathers but they were due for a change so no real harm done just a bit of embarrassment from me.
