I have a Boosteroo, they work great. 2 AA batteries and good to go. Last a while too, as I have not changed the batteries since... hmmm...never.
I retired it when I got my Autocom as that has a volume/squelch setup.
I use it on the train now when the ride gets loud.

Radio Shack has a version of the Boostaroo for about $24. I picked one up after learning that the windshield on my R1100R wasn't as good as the one on my old Virago...
It easily doubles the volume of my 8 Ohm helmet speakers (converted from a pair of cheapie Sony earclips). Bigger speakers with greater impedance (Ohms) may not get as big a boost.
Note that these inline amps do not contain a volume control, so you'll still need to jockey the knob on your Ipod and/or headset.

I really love the ipod and it has changed touring for me forever!
Only one other RUSHian out there? After reading Neils books and getting into his lyrics and knowing the soul searching he found on his bike I find myself drawn to the guys... after all ...the point of the journey is not to arrive Neil Peart
and who can't relate to Driven....when the lyrics clearly suggest (metaphoricly of course) riding rather than driving....hmmmm
I mix it up with classic rock Mostly 70's due to my age and generation,
I really like some jazz too, Louis and Ella, Nora Jones and Diana Krahl, I even like some classic Frank and Tony in there too.
Nice topic Gypsy

I have not tried listening while I ride. Since I play guitar, I figure it would be very distracting. I may try it at some point.
Here's a list of some of my favorite guitar stuff:
Joe Satriani
Eric Johnson
Steve Vai
Steve Morse (Dixie Dregs)
Al DiMeola
Lee Ritenour
Larry Carlton
Alex Lifeson (1 more RUSH fan - Just-Beeming)
SRV
Mark Knofler (Dire Straits)
David Gilmore (Pink Floyd)
Gary Hoey
Chet Atkins
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
....and on, and on, and on!

"Who are you listenin' to?"
The purr of the exhaust.
At 2,750 RPM (55 MPH in 6th) it resonates, delivering a nice deep tone. So will yours. Try it.

Would it resemble a Gregorian chant?
But you are right, Rob. I've heard that same low mellow tone on my bike.
Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur.

I find them extremely relaxing, and of course the spritual benefit can't be quantified. I try to find CD's that have the lyrics; I really enjoy learning some Latin; not too hard when you already know 3 Romance languages....

Gregorian Chants? I can only think of Monty Python & the Holy Grail when I hear those. Sorry Tony. I will practice overcoming that mental image:
