•THE B S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH Mill- ■ DISPATCH RIDERS—AND ■ WHY. /,-•'■ , ~ ... It has eometimcs been said, with much truth, that tho business test is the beat test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, and the military motorcyclist stakes his life, very often, uoon the reliability of his mount. Hera is what Sergeant R. E.' Scliofield, R.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Sec- - tion at Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rider that has gone to the front lias passed through, my hands, and \ I am therefore in a position to judge how the differept makes of machine aro in favour. Tho B.S.A. is by far away .' the favourite, and it has yet to happen that a B.S.A. lias failed to act up to its well-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 Expedition'ary Force, writes ill a private letter: "The roads are hellish. ... My B.S.A. is th« goods. I never have to touch it. They , " are the bikes, my hoy. They , knock the -■A and aDy other make you like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to tha same effect. We are landing 20 of tie latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this /week, and can rive immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either solo or side-car service, and, their reliability is famous. The h.p. is i\, and the three-speed countershaft gear is fool- .. proof and wonderfully efficient.
