THE B.S.A.—FAVOUEITB WITB MILITABY DISPATCH RIDEES-AND WHY. - . It has sometimes been sold, with much' truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, and the military motor-cyclist 6takes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Her« is what Sergeant R. E. Sohofield, R.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot., has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rider that has cone 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 tho machines here ars B.S.A.'s." A motor-cyclist with the Second Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads aro hellish. ... My B.S.A. is the goods. I never have to touch it. They are tho bikes, my boy. They knock the and any other make you like to mention into a cooked hat." There are plentr of other letters from the front, all to thi same effect. We are. landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. MarlboroueK this week, and can give immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for oither solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4} aE< } tho three-speed countershaft gear is foolprMf and wonderfully efficient.
