I think I’m dumb, please help!

Hey all, I’m not an A/V guy but I’m baffled by the whole mic setup for motovlogging. It seems any helmet mic needs to connect to either a camera or wirelessly to your phone.
But if I have my phone plugged into a charger and on my dash, is my only option to connect a mic directly to a camera?
Context: I have an old GoPro Max that I would put somewhere on my bike, and an insta go3 that I would put on my helmet. At any given moment, I might choose to record from one of them. I don’t want my mic connected to any camera, I just want to record audio and have it stored either internally or to some other receiver device, and then align audio and various videos later in post.
Is this not possible? For example if I buy a DJI Mic Mini or similar, what are my options?

I’m not trying to be a pro vlogger or anything, I just want to make one video for selling my bike.
Thank you!

Help identifying windscreen

Hey guys, I had a 2006 DL1000 that I bought back in 2015. The guy I bought it from said it had a “custom touring windscreen.” I’m not sure about that, but it worked amazingly well and I’ve been trying to get something similar. Does anyone recognize it? Sorry I apparently didn’t take many photos of it when I had it. It was quite tall and shaped like an hourglass or a “8” shape. I searched all the big brands and found nothing like it. Thanks!
