MOTORS AND CYCLES, THE FINEST THING ON TWO WHEELS. What the Rev. L. A. Knight, of Kaiapoi has to say. The Vicarage, Kaiapoi. March 20th, 1923. The “ ACE ” Motor Agency, Lichfield Street, Christchurch. Dear Sirs, I have much pleasure in informing you that l went for a very delightful extended tour on my “ ACE ” Motor Cycle and Side Car Outfit at Christmas time, when, with a passenger in the Side Car and full camping equipment on board, including tent. fly. camp stretchers, and clothes and food. ? covered 830 miles without a forced stop of any kind, and without a puncture, broken chain, or faulty plug. The tour was from Kaiapoi to Springfield, by train to Arthur’s Pass, and from there over the Otira Gorge to the West Coast. I toured the West Coast, and finally came back to Canterbury via Nelson, Blenheim and Kaikoura. I was away in all three weeks and two days, and the tr*p cost me in petrol and oil, only £3 16s. The total weight on the machine with luggage and passengers amounted to 378 pounds. I may say that the “ ACE ” behaved itself entirely satisfactorily during the whole trip, and was a perfect delight from the point of view of comfort. I am. Sirs, yours faithfully, (Signed) L. A.
