As such, I would imagine it could theoretically be machined, but I am sure that would not leave enough material and it would just warp. I would not say that it is weak on his bike, it's just that it pulls is severely, and would certainly grab riding off-road, or a panic stop on road. It would be interesting to see what other motorcycle brakes could be used instead. It is also interesting that this is not a universal problem.
Spud, I am sure, has more miles on the bike than most people. I don't remember, but I think he was somewhere around 18,000. I do not know when the problem started.
