THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILITARY DISPATCH EIDERS—AND WHY.. , It lias sometimes been said, with much truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. War is tho grimmest business of mankind, and tho military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, upon tho reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant E. E. Schofleld, R.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say"Nearly every dispatch rider that has jjono 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 hero ore B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with, the Second Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "Tho roads are hellish. . . . My B.S.A: is the goods. I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They knock tho — and any other make you like to mention into n cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the Battle elfect. We aro landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s.. Marlborough this week, and can give immediate delivery. They aro ideal machines for either solo or side-car oervico, and their reliability is famous. Tho h.p. is I}, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolmof and wonderfully efficient.
