We're running a survey on the KR site.

'What is NZs best motorcycle road?' and I'll do up a features page with a ballot box based on the most popular survey answers.

Most I can illustrate, but a few of them I could do with better collateral.

Trade you a full photo credit on KR if you can do me a good shot of:

Akaroa

The Lost Highway

The Kaimais

The Pig Route

The Catlins

Label 'em and attach here - only need 800 wide pixels.

Not on your list, but the Haast Highway is known as one of the finest motorcycle rides anywhere.

I have some scanned from film but they are a bit cruddy.

Thanks very much.

The project has been pushed back on the schedule by politics at the minute - fullness of time and all that.

I started on some Waikato Roads.

A (not perfect) pic of the Pigroot creek corner ... There used to be a hotel here many years ago. Not a bad place for a rest on a fine day.... but as its at 600 metres above sea level, its not a nice place on a shitty day.

There were some epic pics of the Rimutakas for an aeroplane in biker ravings a while ago.
