THE B.S.A.—FA VOTJEITE WITH ATILITAEY DISPATCH EIDEBS—AKD WHY. It has sometime? been said, with much truth, that the business test is tho best 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. Hera is what Sergc-aut li. E. Schofield, R.E., sonior instructor of tho Jlotor'cycle Section at Aldersliot, has to say:—"Nearly even - dispatch rider that has gone to the front lias passed through my hands, and T am therefore in a position to how tho different makes of machine are in favour. The B.S.A. is by far away tho favourite, and it luu yet to happen that a B.S.A. has failed to act up to its well-earned repute. ... I may state that 50 per cent, of the machines here are B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with, the Second Cnvalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads nro hellish. . . . My B.S.A. is tho goods. Z never have to touch it. Tliey are tho bikes, my boy. They knock the —— and any other make you like to mention into a cocked hat." Tlvoro are plenty of other letters from tho front, all to the samo effect. We are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ox s.s.'Marlborough this week, and can Rive immediate do livery. They nro ideal machines foi either solo or sidc-car sorvico, and theii reliability is famous. Tho li.p. is 41 aad the three-speed countershaft gear is'fool, proof and wonderfully efficient.
