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 Sec< oiid Cavalry Division, British Expedition, arv Force, writes in a private letter : "The roads are hellish. . . • My B.S.A. is th« goods. I never have to touch it. The J are the bikes, my boy. They knock thf and any other make you like to men. tion into a cocked hat/' There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the same otfect.

They. are ideal machinos fop either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is'famous.- The h.p. is 4}, and tho three-sp-jed countershaft gear is fool« proof and wonderfully efficient.
