THE B S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILITARY DISPATCH EIDERS—AND It lias sometimes been, said, with much truth that the business test is the best test of any motor.' War is the grimmest business it mankind, and the military motor-cyclist'stakes his life, very often, , upon the reliabililv of his mount. Here is what Sergeant U Schofield, E E., senior instructor of tlio Motor-cycle Section at Aldersliot, has to say:-"Nearly everv dispatch rider that has gone to the 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 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 Expeditionary .Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads are hellish. . . . My B.S.A. is the "cods. I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They knock the and any other make vou like to mention into a cocked hilt." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the 6»me effect. We are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this week, and can givo immediate delivery. They "are ideal machines for either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4}, and the' three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
