THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MII.ITARY DISPATCH < EIDERS—AND WHY. It has sometimes been said, with much, truth, that the business tost is the beat test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, and the military motor-cyclist 6takes his life, verv often, upon the reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant ft. E. Schofield, 8.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say"Nearly every dispatch rider that has cone to the front has passed through my hands, 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 arts 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 are. the bikes, my boy. They knock the and any other make vou like to mention into a cocked hat." there are plenty of other letters from the front, all to this same effect. We. are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex 6.5. Marlborough this week, and can rive immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either «010 or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4}, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolmof and wonderfully efficient.
