not 100% sure yet - intend to, usually travel up with a mate, but he doesnt know his shift pattern yet.

I see your from Stewarton which is part of my TT course
 
From the Mearns up the A77 to Fenwick to Kilmaurs to Stewarton to Neilston to Barrhead to Lugton to Dunlop to Stewarton and down the Stewarton Rd to the Mearns.

thats a hell of loop there.

some of the roads are looking pretty dodgy at the moment - potholes galore.

Aye, your dead right on the pot holes, gravel is another issue especially on the Stewarton Road and the low road to Lugton.

Depends on the white shite, might be a possibility, will have to suck it and see.
If you worried about falling off your bike, you'd never get on.

Think I might be going to the show on the Sunday - probably by car tho as it's not much fun on the m'way and it's easier if I pick up any bits n pieces (which I won't but never say never..)

I know that loop from Mearns well - used to live in Kilmarnock so regularly took the old road home!

I'll be heading there, only 15 mins away from Ingleston, not sure what day yet, will depend on the weather.

I know what you mean by taking the car if there are bargains on offer, that has crossed my mind, however doesn't feel right going to a bike show and not taking the bike
