THE B S A.—FAVOURITE WITH Mltil« TAR YD ISPATCH RIDEBS-AND somotimos been, said, with 'mti#£ truth that the business test is the beat teat of any motor.. War is the grimmest business of mankind,, and the military motor-cyolist etakes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Her# is what Sergeant S.E. Schofield, K.E.. senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say :-r- Nearly every dispatch nder that has gone to the front has passed through, my hands, and I am therefore in a position to judge how tho different makes of machine are in favour, The B.S.A. is by far away tho favourite, and it has yet to hanpen that a B.S.A. has failed to act up to its well-earned repute. ... I may 6tate 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 I roads are hollish. ... 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 you like to mention into a cooked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the earao effect. We arc 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 cither polo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. The b.p. is 4J, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
