[QUOTE="Lemming, post: 340801, member: 17154"] The wearable calorie counters are either pedometers or accelerometers (sporting fudge factors to convert movement into calories expended). Neither would work correctly on a motorcycle, since you would be measuring the "up and down" motion (pedometer) and the acceleration (accelerometer) of the motorcycle, not the person under their own power. I was able to find one place that listed calories burned during motocross (281 kcal/hr for a 155lb rider; no citation was given as to how this was determined, therefore I don't know how accurate the number is). Thus, if you ride for one hour you have not yet burned up that 32 oz coke that you had for breakfast (310 kcal). It will take you two hours of riding to burn up that Big Mac (560 kcal). [/QUOTE]
