THE B.S.A.—FAVOTJEITE WITH MILITAEY DISPATCH EIDEES-AND WHY. It has sometimes been said, with much truth, that the business test is the test test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, and the .military motor-cyclist, stakes his life, very often, upon tho reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant K. E. Schofield, E.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cyclo Section at Aldersliot, has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rider that has gone to the front has passed through my hands, ahd I am therefore in a position to judge how tho 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 TepuCe. ... I may state that 50 per cent, of 'the machines here aro 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 the goods. I never have to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy: They knock the and any other make you like to mention into a cooked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the same effect. We aro landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this week, and can give immediate delivery. They aro 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.
