does anyone know who would be able to skim the rear brake drum of my rd125, it was sat for a while and has got a couple of flat spots on it.

if its just the hub of a spoked wheel (ie an old RD) i could get it skimmed for you at my work , but if its a whole wheel that could be harder as all our manual lathes dont have chucks big enough for that
