It lias 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 stakes his life, .very often, unon the reliability of his mount. Her* is what Sergeant H. E. Sohofield, R.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Sew tion at Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly! every dispatch rider that has gone to tha , front has passed through ray hands, and? I am therefore in a position to _ judge how the different makes of machine ate in favour. The B.S.A. is by far away, the favourite, and it lias yet to happen that a 13.5.A. has failed to act up to its well-earned repute. .'. . I may state that 50 per oent. of the machines here ara B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with, the Secj ond Cavalry Division, British Expeditions ary Force, writes in a private letter: "Tha roads are hellish. ... My B.S.A. is tha goods. I never have to touch it.
