THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILIJ TABY DISPATCH EIDERS—AND WHY. It has sometimes been said, with riiuch truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, and the miiitarj motor-cyclist 6takes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Hero is what Sergeant E. E. Schofield, E.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aidershot, has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rid6r that has gone to the front has passed through my lands, and I am therefore in a position to judge how the different makes of machine are in favour. The B.S.A. is by far away the favourite, and it has yet to happen that 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 aro B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with the Second' Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, Twites in a private letter: "The roads are hellish. ... My B.S.A. is the goods. I never have to touch it. They ore the bikes, my boy. They knock the — and any other make you like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the same effect. Wo are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex 6.5. Marlborough this week, and can give immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either «o!o or side-car service, and their reliability is famous.' The h.p. is 4}, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
