THE B S.A. —FAVOURITE WITH M I LI- • tam dispatch riders-and WHY. It has sometimes been said, with ranch truth, that the business test is the best 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. Here is what Sergeant R. E.' Schofield, 8.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Seetion at Aldershot, has to say—"Nearly every dispatch rider that has gone to th« 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 itn well-earned repute. ... I may state that 50 per. cent, of the machines here are B.S.A.V A .motor-cyclist with, the Second Cavalry Division, British Expedition, ary Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads are hellish.' . . . My B.S.A. is the goods. I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, mv boy. They knock the 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, ahd can give immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is IJ, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
