,THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE Wtf"H MILT. ' TARY DISPATCH RIDERS-AND. . WHY. , It has sometimes been said, -with much truth I ,' that the business test is the beat test of any Inotor. War is the grimmest business of mankind,, and. the military, motor-cyclist stakes his life,- very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Hera is what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E., Benior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rider that has sons to -the front has passed through my hands, and I am therefore in a position to judge how the different makes of machine aro 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 it» well-earned repute. ... I may state that 50 per cent, of the machines here are B.S.A/s." A .motor-cyclist with, the See- ■ ond Cavalry Division, British Expedition* nry Forco, writes in a private letter: "The roads are hellish. . . . My B.S.A. is tho good 6. I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They knock tho — and any other make you like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the same 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 solo or side-car service, end their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4}, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
