NOTES ON SERVERS AND MODS
Before you go online you will need to check the current mod version and at which tracks the mod is installed go here http://stats.gp-bikes.com/servers.php
If you join a normal server and you have the correct mod installed on your PC then select the default 125 500 990 = Connection
If you join a normal server and you have the correct mod installed on your PC then select a bike from the mod = Bike unknown to server
If you join a mod server and you have the correct mod installed on your PC then select the 125 500 990 = Connection
If you join a mod server and you have the wrong mod/one bike folder missing then select the default 125 500 990 = Data missmatch
