THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITO MILITARY DISPATCH EIDERS—AND WHY. It has sometimes been said, witt much' truth, that the business test is the nest test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, t and the military motor-cyolist stakce his life, veiy often, upon the reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant E. E. Schofield, Ki., senior instructor of tho Motor-cycle section at Aldershot, has to say:- pearly every dispatch rider that hns eono to the, front has passed through, my hand 6, and I am therefore in a position to judgo how tho different makes of machine aro in favour. Tho B.S.A. is by far awaythe 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 cont. of tho machines here are B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with the Second Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads are hellish. ... My B.S.A. is the "cods. I never have to tonch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They knock the and any other make you like to mention info a cocked hat." There aro plenty of other letters from t.h-e front, all to the same effect. We are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this week, and can give immediate dolivery. Thoy are ideal machines' for 6ither solo or side-car service, .aad their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4}, ajid the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully effioient.
