THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MIL, TAUT DISPATCH RIDERS—AXL WHY. It has sometimes been said, with much truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, and' the military motor-cyclist 6takes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant K. E. Schofield, 8.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say.—"Nearly every dispatch rider that has gone to the front has passed through my honds, and I am therefore in n position to judpa 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 cont. of the machines here ars B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with the Second Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "Tha roads are hellish. . My B.S.A. is the goods. I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They knock the -—and any other mako vou like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenh of other letters from the front, all to t!-'-same effect. We are landing 20 of tfi 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.
