TTIE B S A. —FAVOURITE WITHMILI--1 TARY DISPATCH EIDERS—AND \ WHY. > It has sometimes been ssid, with much' r truth, that the business test is the best ) test of any motor. War is tho grimmest , business of mankind .nd t.ie military motor-cyclist stakes his life, - very often, • upon tl?e reliability of his mount. Here is what Sergeant R. L, Schofield, R.E., ' senior instructor of the Motorcycle See--5 Hon at Aldershot, has to say:- pearly " every dispatch rider that lias gone to the 0 front has passed through my bauds, and . an therefore in a position to judge t W the different makes of machine are ill favour. The B.S.A. is by far away „ fi.n favourite, and it has; yet to happen Hint a B.S'.A. has failed to act up to its 1 well-earned repute . . . I may state 0 fhnt 50 per cent, of the machines here are 2; no iV' A. motor-cyclist with the Seer mid Cavalry Division, British Expeditionis n rv Force, writes in a privato letter: "The v rwds are hellish. . . . My B.S.A. is the e goods. I never have to touch it. They • nre the bikes, my boy. They knock the an ,\ any other make you like to mcn- ™ firm into a cocked hat," There are plenty " of other letters from the front, all to the same effect. We are lauding 20 of the a latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough '- this week, and can give immediate de- •• livery. They are ideal machines for s either solo or siile-car service, and theii i, reliability is famous. Tin b.p. is ij, and 3 tho three-speed .countershaft gear is fool' ■s proof and wonderfully efficient.
