TrueDisk did front rotors

I had a hell of a time finding front rotors for my bike (82 KZ1000M CSR), but had ordered some EBC Pro-lites from summit racing back in March. They were put on back order as there were none in the US, so EBC had to get them sent from England. They told me this in April.
Come May, they said that EBC UK didn't have any in stock, so they were going to have to make them custom...$225 each.
About 2 weeks ago, I got an email telling me my order I was waiting for and was told was a sure thing when I kept calling them about the rotors, was cancelled by summit racing.
So what did I do? I didn't hurt anybody like I felt like doing.
Instead it was this site that helped me with my problem of rusty, 30 year old front rotors. Here I found someone who had mentioned TrueDisk, LLC in Michigan who resurfaces old rotors.
I can't say enough about these guys. I called them, they told me how I should ship them. 3 days later they called me to tell me they had them done and were shipping them back to me.
They didn't hold my rebuild up at all. Sent them and got them back in less than a week.

"You can't resurface motorcycle rotors, they are too thin."
"We don't do that here."
"I don't know any place that does something like that for motorcycle rotors."
I must have spent about 2 hours on the phone going through the yellow pages. It must just be this area...pretty lame.
$10 would have been much better. I paid $45 each and $11 s/h. Although, compared to the $500 I was gonna spend for new ones, $100 is much easier on the pocket book I guess.
