THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILTw A TARY DISPATCH,. RIDERS—AND WHY. i. V ;■ It has sometimes been said, withmucK truth,; that tlie,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, upon the reliability of his mount. Hero is what Sergeant K. E.; Schofield, E.E.; , 6onior instructor of the Motor-cycle Sec-'' tion at Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly, every dispatch rider that has gone to the front has pas Sod through my hands, and I am therefore, in a position to judgo ' how the 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 its well-earned repute. . . ; I may state that SO per cent, of ,the machines hero are B.S.A.V , A .motorcyclist with, the Seoi •ond Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "Tha roads are hellish. .My B.S.A.'is the goods. I never have to touch it. They ore the bikes, my boy. . They knock tha — and any othor make you like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenly. of other letters from the front, all: to the same effect. Wo are landing 20 of' tha latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough! this week, and can eiye 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.
