.TTTV Tl S A. —FAVOURITE WITH MILI- ' tabydispatch RIDERS-AND WHY. t .. ... .. It has sometimes been said, with much I truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. War is tho grimmest business of mankind, and the military motor-cyclist stakes Ins life, very often, upon tho reliability of his mount Her ß is what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E., senior instructor of tho Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say:- Nearly every 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 aro in favour. The B.S.A. is, by far away the favourite, and it has yet to happen that a U.S.A. has failed to act up tt> its well-earned repute. . . . I may state that 50 per cent, of tho machines here ars B S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with the Second Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary- Force, writes in a private letter: "Tho roads are hellish. ... My B.S.A. is th» goods. I never liavo to touch it. They ore the bikes, my boy. They knock ths and anv other malto you like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to th* same effect. We are landing 20 of tho latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlkoroueh 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 tho three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
