The Motorcycle and the War Analysis by Capt Keene
Capt Louis Keene, an English officer on special detail in the United States, provides a detailed view of motorcycles in European warfare. He asserts the motorcycle machine gun unit is pivotal, equating one gun to 100 men and noting higher casualty rates among motorcyclists from friendly motor lorries than from enemy fire. He warns that transport trains prioritize speed, endangering riders, and that early war tactics placed motorcycles closer to combat, while later doctrine kept bikes back during fighting. Dispatch riders are deemphasized in favor of machine gun teams, and Keene stresses that motorcycle service in war is a dangerous business, not a mere ride or luxury.
