THE B.S.A.—FAVOTTRItE WITH MILIy TARY DISPATCH RIDERS—AND WHY. - .' . It has 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 1 his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Hera is what Sergeant R. E: Schofield, R.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cyole Section at'AMershot, has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rider that -has cone to tho front has passed through) my hand 6, and I am therefore in a position to judge how {he different makes of machine are in favour. Tho B.S.A. is by far away tho 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 cent.- of tho machines here ar« B.S.Al's." A .motor-cyclist with, the Seo ond Cavalry Division, British Expedition-* nry.Force, writes in a private letter: "Th« roads are hellish. . . . v My B.S.A. is the goods. I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They knock th» — and any othcr'mako you like to men* tion into a cocked hat." There are plenty, of other letters from the front, all to tW same effect. We' are landing 20 of tiia latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough' this week, and can give immediate '"-.delivery. They are ideal machines for. either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. Tho h.p. is ij, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
