RW> Home Depot and Lowes both sell a vent that you can install into the dryer   
   RW> exhaust. I used to have one in San Diego, but it got lost in the   
   RW> transition and I havn't bothered to replace it yet.   
      
   Yet another thing that would have been a good idea to do before finishing the   
   basement (along with the 220 outlet).  Our dryer is right next to the garage,   
   but the vent goes through the ceiling of the basement all the way to the other   
   side of the house and out.     
      
   Installing a flapper to manually change the vent to go into the garage would   
   be nice.  I guess I didn't think of all the "Man-Cave" ideas before finishing   
   the basement.  They could probably still be done, just not as easy.   
      
   RW> That's OK, as long as the accessory and the lamps aren't too much draw.   
      
   I don't think there is anything on my "accessory" wire on the bike.  Some HD's   
   make use of that circuit for various lights, but I don't think mine was one of   
   them.  I never had a blown fuse - and I use the heated grips often - even when   
   it is semi-warm outside.   
      
   RW> My friend Andrew rode his Kawasaki to visit his mother and family in   
   RW> Minnesota, via New Mexico northward through Colorado and S Dakota. He was   
   RW> bucking headwinds full of rain all the way. He found a motel somewhere in   
   RW> Colorado where they let him park his bike under a sheltered spot so he   
   RW> could start out with a dry seat in the morning. He had monkey butt almost   
   RW> all the way. I'm glad I dicided not to venture that far away from home.   
      
   I only had around one month's experience riding when I got caught in that   
   massive thunderstorm.  It was good to learn that early on.  They always said   
   that everyone that rides a motorcycle will eventually get wet - which is why   
   they never cancel riding lessons on the weather.
