THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILITARY DISPATCH KIDEES—AND It has 6ometimes 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, upon the reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant S: E. Schofield, 8.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rider that has cone to tho front has passed through my hands, and I am therefore in a position to judge how the different makes of machine are 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 ita well-earned repute. ... I may state that 50 per cent, of the machines here ar« B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with, the Second Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, wites in a private letter: "Th» roads are hellish. ... My B.S.A. is tha goods. I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They knock the —- and any other mako .vou 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 6.5: Marlborough' this week, and can five immediate dolivery. They are ideal machines for either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. Tho h.p. is 4}, and the three-speed oountershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
