Beautiful ride in this morning, roads started out a little damp but quickly dried up and were absolutely empty don't think I dropped below 60 for the whole ride once I was out of town.
 
Tried out the mic tucked inside my pocket under 2 layers and a sponge over the mic and still picking up wind noise and other background noise. Maybe it's just the camera, slow moving traffic and the mic is fine, upwards of 40mph and it's ****.
 
Went out earlier and got some more photos of the woods behind my house, need to get a bike quick :p

Loads of areas, bridges, windy paths plus hardly any people!

It won't be the camera. Getting the audio right is the toughest thing to do.

The best I ever managed was putting a Zoom H2N in a tank bag where there is a pocket of calm air. Some people have had success with a rucksack too but you need to avoid anything with any air anywhere near it (helmet, jacket pockets etc).

Tank bag + H2N sounds amazing on the Tuono V4!

Unfortunately i have no use for a Zoom, way beyond what i need and completely overkill. If i was going to record full time then maybe i'd buy one but for what i want, i'll have to find a good solution with the mic i have now.
 
I have my mic head poking out the front of my cheek pad with a standard muffler on it (stock Drift Ghost HD mic). Next to no wind noise through town and very little even on the motorway.

I already have a mic though inside my helmet for my Sena headset, doubt i'd have room for another one.
 
I tried that and it's not massively effective as the mic housing rubs on the sponge as it moves about. I didn't spend too long playing though, got really bored after 3 or 4 trips out trying to get good sound.

I have a Sena as well. Don't you use the default mic on a flexible rod? I find that one the best, so you can run it from the side of the helmet and bend it up and in front of your mouth.
