■THE B.S.A—FAVOURITE WITHMILI-i 1 dispatch riders^-and WHY. It has sometimes been said, with much' truth-, that the .business test ,is the-beat 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. Schoneld, E.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Seotion at Aldershot, has.' to say"Nearly every dispatch rider that has gone to the front has passed through, my hands, and I am therefore in a position to judge how the different makes of machine file 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 50 per cent, of tho machines here are B.S.A.'Si" A .motor-oyolist with the Second Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads are hellish. . . . My B.S.A. is the good:?. -* I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They, knock: the ■ —- and any other make x°u like to mention into a, cocked hat." Thero are plenty, of other letters from the front, all to the Same effect. We are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'a ex e.s. Marlborough l this, week, and oan give immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either solo or 6ide-car service, and. their reliability ia famous. The h.p. is i\, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
