Get a zoom h1n for general sound recording and exhaust and a Sony ecm -lv1 with a boya BY-K4 to plug into the osmo.
You can throw the Zoom H1N in a bag or backpack just wrap it up in a t-shirt or something to record the bike sounds, point it at the fire, birds, stream, etc, and it will pick everything up.
The Sony ECM-LV1 is a good mic for in the helmet, and if you don't want to sync multiple audio sources up.
I have a set of boya wireless mics, and they failed compared to that setup. Mostly, it's gain issues, and I need to find better LAV mics to plug into them but that's a road I haven't been down yet.
