Well I had my test today at 9:15am and went out all confident without a nerve in my body. I had a pre-test with Liam Quinlan last night and he was absolutely fantastic, couldn't recommened the fella highly enough. I knew the route like the back of my hand and had it all down to a tee.

I worked hard on all of the bits and pieces and it paid off - I was out the gap with a fully clean test sheet, not a Grade 1, 2 or 3 to my name!

Here starts the two year countdown...

Fear is temporary, regret is forever...

Always ask why...

Fabio that's brilliant news - well done mate.

I love these posts because it brings back the memory of the happiness and all round fantastic feeling I had when I got mine.

Make sure you get the pink straight away - countdown starts from the date of the pink.

It was done within an hour of passing the thing
