When it comes to a matter of dismassing the comparative reliability of various makes ot" motor cycle., the <tnal uust be admitted to be the longice non-stop run. The longer tho distance, the tr.ore severe must, be tho test. There is a distinction, too, between the professional who makes a businc-ss of making records and ..he every-day amateur rider who :s not aa encyclopaedia on all the ills a mocor is heir to. Bearing these facts iti mind, the performance put up by Mr W. C 4. Conipton, who yesterday rode through fog and rain and over bad '■""''s from Inrercargill to Christch, a distance of about 400 miles, il mileage on this particular ey, in 20hr. Smin, is valuable as lowing how remarkably reliable a achine a modern motor-cycle is. Jf course, there are motor-cycles and motor-cycles. Mr Compton rede a "Triumph" 31-li.p. machine, which be has owned for the past nine months, and covered over 10,000 mile? upon it it period. He made the trip as bination sporting and business le had to come to Christie i.-om Invercargiil in pursuance of his duty as an inspector of insurances, and he put up this grand performance absolutely without any organisation or assistance. He did not lose a second on the road through mechanical troubles. In his own words. " I never even had to take out the spark-ing-plug. 1 ' The conditions of the new record were the most severe yet imposed on a motor-driven vehicle in this country. The machine stood the test. Messrs Adams, Ltd., have a large stock of these test-proof machines in their Timaru shop, and will be pleased to show you just the how and why of their excellence.
