. "This bag was brought back from the 1979 ISDT by AMA Hall of Famer Barry Higgins. Barry traded for this bag from Team Australia member Geoff Ballard." pretty  much explains it ::). Barry Higgins is a Georgia based motocross and enduro legend and I believe he and GB are or were mates through their Maico connection. It's be a shame if anyone other than Geoff ended up with this.
