THE H.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MTLI. TARY DISPATCH RIDERS-AND WHY. It has sometimes teen raid, with much' trutb, that the business test is tho best test ol any motor. War is the grimmest business of mankind, .nd the military • motor-cyclist states his li.'e, very' often, ■ upon the reliability of his mount. FT ere is what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E., senior instructor of Hie Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to say"N'early every dispatch rider that has gone to the front htis passed through my hands, and • I hjh therefore in a position to judge how tho different makes of machine are in favour. The U.S.A. is by far away the labourite, 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 ara B S A.'s." A motor-cyclist- with the Second' Cavalry Division, British Expedition, nrv Force, writes in a private letter: "Tho rcids are hellish. . . . My B.S.A. is the roods. I never havo to touch it. Thev are the bites, my boy. They knock the — and ony other make you like to mentiou into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from the fro-it. nil to the eamo effect. We aro landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex's.s. Marlborough this week, ao.d can. givo immediate delivery. They are ideal machines for either solo or side-car service, and their reliability is famous. Tlu h.p. is U, and the three-speeo countershaft gear is" foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
