    Need some pics for KR page

    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.

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Ahh - the other one I need is Queenstown to Glenorchy. I've seen some nice ones on here somewhere.

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

    I put some of Queenstown to Glenorchy here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...6&postcount=10 - the first three pictures. The other three are 1 at Routeburn, 2 & 3 on the road to Kinloch.

    Here's another one of the scenery along the Queenstown to Glenorchy road.
