[Copy of letter received by Wellington agent for Douglas Motors.] George Street, Wellington, September 9, 1912. Dear Sir, —I am writing you a tew lines to tell *you how- I became a rider of a Douglas lightweight motor-cycle. Some considerable time ago I ordered an 8-h.p,i machine with side-car, and owing to. delay I decidea "to buy a lightweight to potter about on until the j* arrival'of the 8-h.p., and then intended tp sell the lightweight. My choice fell on a Douglas, and I bought a 1911 model. I had always believed in a heavy-weight machine, and, not haying (previously ridden a lightweight, you can imagine the surprise I received at the ease I could start and the power developed by this machine. I had many thousands of miles pleasure out of this machine, and when my 8-h.p. arrived I simply couldn't part with the Douglas, «so I decided to keep the two, using the large machine for sidemar and 'the small machine for solo riding. When the 1912 Douglas arrived I purchased one, and I find it is an ideal machine, very easy to handle, can be started at a walk, upkeep very light. My back tyre has done over, 6000 miles and is not worn out yet. The speed obtained by this model1 is enormous, and I can climb hills that higher power machines find difficult. In all my riding on Douglas machines I have never experienced a mechanical stop, which speaks volumes for the material, ana magnificent workmanship of the Douglas motors. In conclusion, I may state that never would I purchase & heavy-weight motor for solo riding, and I _ can honestly recommend the Douglas motor-cycle as the best light-weight on the market.
