8 THE 8.5.A.-FAVOUHITE WITH MILITARY DISPATCH EIDEBS—AND I WHY. '» It lias "sometimes been said, with much * truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, and the military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, j upon the reliability of his mouiit. Here ® is what .Sergeant 'R. E. Scliofield, E.E., n senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Sec:l tion at Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly s every dispatch rider that has gone to the ,1 front has passed through my hands, and, 0 I am therefore in a position to judgo how the different makes of machine are j in favour. The B.S.A. is by far away ; II the favourite, and it has yet to happen' that a B.S.A. has failed to act up to its y well-earned repute. ... I may state that ,_ 50 per cent, of the machines here are j B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with the Seo-' ond Cavalry Division, British Expedition--0 ary Force, writes in a private letter: "The e roads are hellish. ... My B.S.A. is the r goods. I never have to touch it. They il are the bites, my boy. They knock the o and any other make you like to mons tion into a cocked hat." There are plenty .1 of other letters from the front, all to tho same effect. Wo aro landing 20 of tho latest model B.S.A.'s ex &.s. Marlborough this week, and can cive immediate dee livery. They are ideal machines for g cither solo or side-car service, and their - reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4J, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foole proof and wonderfully efficient.
