THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILITARY DISPATCH RIDERS—AND It has sometimes been Kid, with much truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. War is tho grimmest business of mankind, ?nd the military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Hera is wliat Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E., senior instructor of the-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 aie 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 goods. I never havo to touch it. They are the bikes, my boy. They knock the and any other mako you like to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from tho front, all to the same effect. We are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this weok, and can give immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either solo or sitle-car service, and their reliability is famous. The'li.p. is 4}, and tho throe-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
