TTTO p B A —FAVOURITE WITH MILTTABY DISPATCH RIDERS—AND Tt^has^sometimes been said, with much" truth', that the business test is the. best test of any motor. War is the. grimmest Vmsiness of mankind, and the military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, tie reliability of his mount. Here 5= what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at AMershot, has to say:- Nearly every dispatch rider that has gone to t h; front lias passed .through my hands, and T am therefore in a _ position to _ judge how the different makes of maohine are in favour. The B.S.A. is by far away the favourite, and it lias yet to happen that a B.S.A, has failed to act up to its well-earned repute. . . . I may state that 60 per cent, of the machines here an BS A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with, the Seo oiid Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "The ronds are hollish. . . . My B.S.A. is the Roods. I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. Ther 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 ore landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this week, and can give immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either solo or side-car oervice, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4}, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
