Do you listen to your ipod while riding
i get a lot of wind noise when i ride was thinking of ear plugs or the ipod

From a distraction viewpoint, I see no real difference between music from an IPOD with ear buds under the helmet and music from the speakers on a touring bike.
The problem the IPOD introduces is the temptation to fiddle with it and change playlists or skip songs while riding. DON'T DO IT!!! I have a friend who is now a physical mess because he crashed his Road King while cruising with some buds in Illinois. Nothing official ever got documented but one of his riding partners swears he saw him reaching into his jacket to mess with his IPOD right before he lost control and crashed.
Best to put it on shuffle and leave it alone!
