TAB B S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILIr taky dispatch RIDERS-AND WHY. Jt lias somotimes been esid, with much' truth, that tho business test is the best test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, end toe military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very, often, upon the reliability of his mount: Here is wbat Sergeant R. E. Schofield; R.E., KCll ior instructor of the Motor-cycle Seption at Aldershot, has" to say—"Nearly every, dispatch rider that has gone to the front has passed through my hands, and I cm therefore in a position to judge • how tho different makes of machine ate 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 mav 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 poods I never have to touch it. They are tiie 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. We are landing 20 of tho latest model B.S'.A. s ex s.s. Marlborough this week, and can (jivo immodiate delivery. They are ideal machines for either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 45, and the three-speed oountershaft goar is foolproof and wonderfully efficiont.
