It lias sometimes been said, •vrith much truth, that tlie business test 16 tho best test of any motor. War is tho grimmest business of mankind, and tlie military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant 1?. E. Schofield, E-E-. senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say:-"Nearly every dispatch rider that has pone to tho front has passed through my hands, and I am therefore in a position to iudge how the different makes of machine ari> in favour. The B.S.A. is by far away the favourite, and it .has yet to happen tlmt a B.S.A. has failed to act up to its well-earned repute. ... I may state that 50 per cent, of the machines here .ire B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with, the Second Cavalry Division, British Expeditionarv Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads arc hellish. . . . Mv B.S.A. is the goods. I never have to touch it. Tlnuare'the bikes, my boy. They knock the and any other make you like to mention into a cocked hat." There, are plpnlv of other letters from the front, all to the same effect. We arc landing 20 of !he latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this week, and can jive immediate, delivorv. They are ideal iiKiehhipc' for cither solo or side-car service, and their reliability i- 5 famous. The h.p. is 4}. aij (lie three-speed countershaft gear is feo proof and wonderfully efficient.
