How did you get going on that, you know? And what was, like, your first product?

Billy BalcerGUEST
So there was, uh, um, the origin of it was, uh, Bruce Lindsday started a lot of the parts back in the '70s.

Billy BalcerGUEST
And he sold out a lot of parts and tooling and stuff to, uh, another guy, Dennis Corso, um, which was the Dennis Corso company.

Billy BalcerGUEST
And, uh, it was about, like I said, between five and six years ago, um, I bought him out, uh, which to carry on, he was like, "I'm getting old.

Billy BalcerGUEST
I can't be doing this all day every day anymore." And, uh, I took over those companies and kinda rebranded it as Strange Bird.

What, uh, what are some of the, like the commodities that you guys sell like the most of like just oil lines, stuff like that that are broken, busted, missing all the time when you put together a bike, I imagine.
