THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILITABY DISPATCH EIDEHS—AND ■ WHY. . . It has sometimes J>een seid, with much truth, that the business'test is the best test of any motor. War is tho. grimmest business oE mankind, end the military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Hera is "what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R-.E;, - senior instructor of the Motor-cyole Section at Aldershot, has to say:-"Nearly every dispatch rider that has gone to the front hus passed through my hands, and I am therefore in a position, to judge how the different makes of machine, are' in favour. Tho 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. . . .1 may 6tate that 50 per cent, of the machines here are B.S.A.V A motor-cyclist with the Sec. ond Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a privato letter: "The roads are hellish. . . . My B.S.A. is the goods. I never have to touch it. They are tlio bikes, my boy. They 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. Wo are landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Mwlborouch this week, and can givo immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for eithor solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. Tho h.p. is 4J, and tho three-spied countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficiont.
