Microphone on the Bike and Stealing Ideas

I realised the other day that I still haven't tested out the new microphone in the helmet. I don't know what speeds I can ride before the wind noise gets too much or if it will work at all. I need to get that sorted out before I head out again too. I don't want to be trying new things out when I'm meant to be concentrating on getting all the right footage and audio to make the videos work. I need to be confident in my own ability to do these things otherwise the videos will be no good.
I've been watching a lot of one particular show on TV at the moment, River Cottage Australia, I like the way it's been filmed and there is quite a bit of commentary that is obviously done in post production. If the audio whilst riding doesn't work out then I guess I'll be doing a lot of the audio in post too. I like the format that River Cottage Australia is presented in, in terms of what they show and when. They usually start each episode with some drone footage and music of River Cottage and then do a "in this episode..." montage. After that is the intro video which is short and the same thing in each episode. They then go on to the new episode and basically have a set format of some time in the yard, some time in the kitchen, catching up with a friend or fellow farmer and some more time in the yard. They end each episode with with a "in the next episode..." montage. What I've noticed is that the "in the next episode.." and the "in this episode..." are the same montage, the end of last week goes on the start of this week, if that makes sense. I'm thinking that I can steal that idea and do the same if possible. 
One of my favourite YouTubers has also started motocamping again and he is hoping to get out and do more of it in the coming weeks. Hopefully he can give me enough motivation to get out there myself and really have a crack at this motocamping video thing that I've been harping on about for the few months.
