THE 8.5.A.-FAVOTJRITE TVITH MILITARY'. DISPATCH EIDERS—AND , WHY. ' J It lias sometimes been said t < 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 6takes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E;, senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rider that has gone to tho front has passed through my hands, and I am therefore in a position to judge how the'different makes of machino 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 jvell-earned repute. . . . I may state that 50 per cent, of,the machines here are B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with, the Second 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. They are the bikes, my boy.' They knocV the ■ — and any other make you like to mention into a cocked hat." • There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to tho same effect. We are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ox e.s. Marlborough this week; and can give immediate . delivery. They are ideal' machines for' either solo or 6ido-car service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is !}, and' the thr'eo-speed countershaft gear is fool- • mof and wonderfully efficient..
