THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILIj TARY DISPATCH: RIDERS—AND WHY. It lias sometimes been said, with much' truth, that the business test is the bost test of any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, tnd the military motor-cyclist stakes bis life, very often, upon the ieliabitity of his mount. Hera is what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E., 6enior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at; Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rider that has rodo to the front has passed through my bauds, and I-isu therefore in a position to judge how the different makes of machine aro in favour. The B.S.A. is by far away the favourite, and it has yet to happen that a B.S.A. bas failed to act up to its well-earned repute. . . . I may state that 50 per cent, of the machines here ara B S A.'s." A motor-cyclist with tbe Sec* ond Cavalry Division,.British Expedition, ary Force,-writes in a private letter: "The reads are hellish. •. . . My B.S.A. is the goods. I never havo to touch' it. They ore tbe bikes, my boy. They knock the — and oily other ruako you likq to mention into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the sarno effefct. Wo are landing 20 of . the latest model B.S'.A.'s ex s.s.-MaTlborough this week, and can five immediate delivery.' They are ideal machines for either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. 1 The h.p. is 4J. and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and : wonderfully efficient.
