THE 8.5.A.-FAYOTJRITB. WITH MILITARY DISPATCH EIDERS—AND WHY. It'has sometimes been said, with much' truth, that the business "test is the best test of any. motor. War is tho grimmest ,business of mankind, tnd the military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Hera is vliat Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E., 6enior instructor of the Motor-cycle Seotion 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 are 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 stato that 50 per cent, of the machines here are B S A.'s?' A motor-crclist with the Seoi ond Cavalry Division, British Expedition, ary Force, writes in a private "letter: "Th» roads are hellish. • . •. My B.S.A. is ths goods. I never have to touch it. They are the bikos, my hoy- They knock the 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 effect. We are. landing 20, of the latest model B.S'.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this week, and can give immediate do. livery. They are ideal machines fop either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4}, anj the three-speed countershaft gear is fool' proof and wonderfully efficient.
