Small Businesses who pay tax under self assessment can carry on working (if possible). The grant is to cover loss of business from 1% to 100%.
I can assure every one that my intentions were to just remind people they could go out on their bikes today without fear of being pulled by the police just for being on a bike. Not to wind our fellow the Scottish & Welsh riders up, unlike some, I have more constructive things to do. No mine has stayed in the garage today but it won't tomorrow. Had to take my dog over the fields he exercises in but hasn't been able to go there as I've been sticking to the lock down and not driving my cage.
Its a pity that they could not look at what they put on their tax return in the box - what is the nature of your business, and then they could see who has lost work and who has not, eg a tattoo artist clearly could not carry on there will be some grey areas that will have to be assessed but to give all self employed even if they are not affected seems a mistake.
That is not how it was said, Can't be arsed to find the exact quote but it was along the lines of "please you are welcome to go and get a job at tescos or something to keep a good income and your job will be waiting for you when you return".
He aroused the ire of workers and MPs after sending a video message to staff telling them they would no longer be paid after Friday while the company works out details of a “furlough” scheme under which the government will pay 80% of wages.
He advised them to seek work in Tesco, which is hiring staff to help it meet the country’s need for food delivery and distribution, if they needed employment in the meantime.
Tim Martin said in the video that staff who wanted to work for Tesco should do so and they will be given first priority when Wetherspoon pubs reopen

Usual foccing idiots hijacked a thread, WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT BIKERS RIDING BIKES after a long lay off. You wonder why this forum p-ss-s me off. Just for the record yes I have been out on my bike stopped once for fuel observed the distancing rule and thoroughly enjoyed myself without putting any one risk other than myself by other road user SMIDSY's.
VNA-BMW Wank.
I have read somewhere recently that most manufacturers including BMW have extended their bike service intervals and warranty periods, because of the issues the corona virus is causing.
Stay safe.
Cheers FILZ6 Just had a look at my owner’s manual. It says first service 300 – 750 miles. I’d imagine there is also a wider tolerance that can be applied to that.So yeah, I might see what I can find out this week, as its now, according to the manual, ready for its first service.It would be good to get that service. I’ve been trying to stick to the 5000-rpm run in limit. So once its serviced I can use the full rev range. Though I have to say with, according to the dyno chart, 95bhp and 95lbs-ft of torque available at the rear wheel by 5000 rpm, running in is a fun and speedy process! 6th gear at 5000rpm is about 90mph.
Kawasaki certainly had a special grade of running in oil as a pal used to own a dealership, maybe 10 or so years ago though. Fuch oil, was the favoured brand if I remember correctly.
Having never owned a new motorbike I'm not quite sure what the first service would actually be?
