THE 8.5.A.-FATOUTUTE WITH MILITAHY DISPATCH EIDERS—AND WHY. It has sometimes been said, with much truth, that the business test 16 the best test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, and the military motor-cyclist stakes his . life, very often; upon the reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant E. E. Schofield, K.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say;—" Nearly evory dispatch rider that has gone to the front has passed through my bands, and I am therefore in a position to .judca how tho 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 are B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with, the Second Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads are hellish. . . . My B.S.A. is the goods. I never have to touch it. They aro the bikes, my boy. They knock the and any other mako you like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the same effect. We are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this week, and can give immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either solo 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.
