THE B.S.A.—FAVOUEITE WITHMILI* TARY DISPATCH EIDERS—AND! WHY. It ha 3 eometimcs been said, with much' truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. AVar is the grimmest business of mankind, and tho military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, upon tho reliability of Ms mount. Hera is what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, E.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say;—" Nearly every dispatch rider that has cono to the front has passed through my hands, and I am therefore in a position to Judga how the different makes of machine ara in favour. Tho B.S.A. is by far away, the favourite, and it has yet to happen that a U.S.A. has failed to aot up to its well-earned repute. ... I may state that 50 per cent, of the machines here ara B.S.A.'s." A ,motoi;-cyclist with the Seo ond Cavalry Division,.. British Expeditionary Force, writes in a privato letter: "Tho roads are hellish. ... My B.S.A. is tho goods. I never havo to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They knock the ' -r — and any other make you like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, nil to the sarao effect. We are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough! this week, and can Rive immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either eolo or side-ear (service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4}, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
