It is obvious that men's lives and the fortunes ot armies depend frequently upon these qualities in the despatch rider's mount. The B.S.A. motor-cycle is a warm favourite with military motor-cyclists m Franco and Flanders, principally on the score of absolute reliability and the simplicity of its construction. Ihf threc-spml counter-shaft goor enables the "8.5.A." to be used Lu the roughest of rough country, and the whole machine, though not heavy, i> strong enough to stand any amount of rough usage.
