Welcome and a tip from another GPB noob: Make your own bike paint soon. Makes crashing not quite as frustrating when you can look at how your very own bike looks ingame every time 

I'll borrow this existing thread to say hello!

Just purchased GP Bikes last night after trying out the demo a bit, and although I found the game impossibly hard at first, it also feels highly addictive!
I know I'm not a fast rider at all in real life, but man, in gpbikes I'm even slower. Just managed to ride two full laps in a row at Brno, without falling on my face and considered that a huge success! 
Guess it's going to take some time to get better at this and stop lowsiding at ridiculously slow speeds

Hi Medi... Welcome aboard mate!

Just keep practicing and all will fall into place for you.... Practice, practice and more practice seems to be the secret with GPB. 

As far as the low-siding is concerned Piboso is aware of this in this current version of GPB beta5b, and we're hoping that it will be sorted out when beta 6 is released soon.

Hawk.

Thanks!

Ah, good to know, although I just realized the reason for my constant lowsiding was something else. I feel really stupid now... Not being used to the game I thought It'd be a good idea to use automatic gears to have one less thing to worry about while I got used to the controls. Just noticed the automatic likes to downshift right when I'm turning into the corners, making the bike unstable  using manual gears took 10 seconds off my laptime on the first test lap, lol
