THE B.S.A.—FA VOURITE WITH MILITARY DISPATCH KEDEES—AND WHY. It haa sometimes been said, with much' truth, that the business test is the heat test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, and the military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant JR. E. Schofield, R.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly everv dispatch rider that has gone to the front has passed through, my nands, and I am therefore in a position, to _ judgg how tho 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 ita well-earned repufe. ... I may state that 50 per cent, of the machines hero are B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with, the SecJ ond Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Foroe, writes in a private letter: "The roads are hellish My B.S.A. is the goods. I never have to touch it. Tlicy are the bikes, my boy. They knock the — and any other make you like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the same effect. We arc landing 20 of tho latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough' this week, and can eivo immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4J, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
