Suede speed bag?

[paranday]

There's a bag for sale in France that's made of suede,,,

They call it the "vintage" model, but were speed bags ever made of suede? Vintage in the imagination only, maybe.

The size listed is 11 x 7, which I don't exactly need. Another site says this bag is made in Thailand. There are not so many Euros burning a hole in my pocket for this bag, but it is different. Wonder if suede has what it takes to stand up to punching over time.

Ringside sold a suede bag a few years back. I don't think they sold a lot of them as it disappeared from the catalog after a couple of years.

I remember that and wish I had bought one now. At the time I thought it was kinda silly, but I should have punch one up before I made that decision. Now it might have been a collector item.

Who knows, some Rock and Roll Type could have written a song about it:

"Blue Suede Speed Bag"

I think when we see an odd bag we might like, better get it now, because it might not be around long.

Exactly right. I have had several rarities that got away from me. Truth is, I gave them away not knowing that someday they would be history.

They would probably be fairly rough on the knucles to begin with.

Leave it to the French.

I've been to the Cannes Film Festival there four times - for a month each time, and I love the place and their food and their culture.

I did need to come home to get my... relinquish my... tendency for comfort.

Interesting Point, Roc Stone. I am curious how 'fairly' they might be to end with.

I'm not sure I follow you right on this one Mike.
Because I don't have one of these bags I can only surmise that breakin in one of these babies would take its toll on the old fists, unless you used gloves or wraps.
Outside of that the bag would probably be ok, aside from being a little big for my liking

I'm sorry, Roc: I am a bit 'quirky' or 'tongue in cheek' at times. I mean no lack of respect or disfavor.

That Said, you make keen observations about what one of these might feel upon the knuckles.

Hey no probs.
I am curious how 'fairly' they might be to end with.
But I'm still not sure what you're alluding to.

Therefore I would like to close in a quote from an old friend;
'Hang 'em and Bang 'em'
Which I think what it is you are trying to say.

Hey! Hows about another vid???

I wasn't alluding to much but you ain't far off. I'm trying to get a couple beats down here in the garage/gym. I wouldn't argue if I'm not making sense.

I haven't posted a vid yet. I'm working on that. I don't want to be a Complete Clown when I do so - therefore I am working late into the night in my laboratory with the Secret Book. Unfortunately, I need Reading Glasses these days (only recently, as it were) so I am cogitating several new - well, a new language which requires both an import and - an export of prior mis-grammar.

I have deflated the bag/s in an attempt to 'inculcate' the beats. I am working on it.

"A little big for your liking, but maybe even for a Viking!"

"Keen observations made about how this bag may feel on the knuckles....
it may feel like you are punching a bag filled of buckles!"

"The good thing about a making a good vid,
Is that you can possibly up and sell it for a few quid!
I don't care that Nancy was all devoted to Sid!
Because the Sex Pistols don't speed bag! Never gonna! Never did!"

"It don't matter if you're not making sense!
It don't matter if your car has some dents!
But remember these words for a time that gets tense.
He who owns is no better than he who rents!"

"You have deflated....
You have inculcated....
You have chosen to be recreated....
And re-emerge wholly as one with the bag..... you will be.... Bagificated!!!"

BAGS UP GUYS!!!!

And I'm about to be elucidated.

Somehow.

Yes, it's on sale for -10,00% !!!! I guess that's 10% off in euro-speak

I'd love to have one of those. Probably would get ugly quick though, that thing would attract swivel grease like a magnet.
