THE 15 ?.A. —FAVOURITE WITH MILITARY DISPATCH RIDERS—AND WHY. rt lias soraotlmes teen ssid, with much truth that the business teat is the best test of any motor. War is tho grimmest business of mankind ,ud lie military motor-cyclist stakes his U.'e, very often, nnon tho reliability of his mount. Here "/what Sergeant }. E. Schofield RE.. cAnior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say:—"Neariy Bverv dispatch rider that has jjono to the front has passed, through my bauds, and T tan therefore in a. position to judge w the different makes of machine an in favour. The B.S.A is by far away tho favourite, and it has yet to happen i that a 8.5.A.. has failed to act up to its repute. . . .

My B.S.A. ißthe roods. I never have to touch it. They lie the bikes, my boy. They lcnock the and any other make you like to mention into a cocked hat."
