Hi Coach Bob I’ll tell you I just love these types of stories. After retiring as a LEO. I was a soccer coach. When I dedicate myself to a task I gave 100% I either do the job right or nothing in between I certainly agree with your philosophy. There is nothing like the feeling of having made a difference in someone’s life in a positive way. Not always about monetary compensation, the look in someone’s eyes when they get your intended lesson is just fulfilling beyond words!!! Thanks for your service and for posting this experience!!
Now that I'm retired, I really enjoy having the ability to choose to go for a ride at any time, out of the blue, on any day. What I didn't expect is how easy it is to lose track of what day of the week it is 🤔🙄😅 Also, you just helped me to understand how riding seems to automatically "flip the switch." I suppose the need to stay focused while enjoying the wind and the ride has somehow automatically enabled that switch in my brain, and that's a good thing. I absolutely enjoyed the story of that one lesson you taught to the young ATC who now wears the shoes you wore... as he carries on teaching others 👊😁👍
I have been struggling in a very tough divorce for the last 5 years, but I CAN FLIP THE SWITCH... I have never been so close to Jesus, so peaceful and happy in my life ! Living the moment, every single day, having faith as never ever before. Great video ! Thank you, Bob. You made my day even brighter ! Pray the Lord !!
WOW, thank you Bob. I guess you can say I flipped the switch, listening to your sign off by the motorcycle of your dreams, eat, right take care of yourself and if you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong! I’m 68 years old started at 465 pounds and is of today lost 180 pounds but only halfway to my goal doing it without surgery. I’m in pretty bad shape to get on a Can-Am spyder and utterly failed to be able to get on the bike, general weakness. I was in bad shape, you and the other TH-cam Can-Am folks like John and Miriam, purple on three and some others. Grew up with bicycles, mini bikes and motorcycles. Biggest bike was a 900 Kawasaki and a 1300 Suzuki. I’ve had to undergo some surgeries like both shoulders replaced because of the osteoarthritis made worse by the consumption of carbohydrates through the years, I still have some plastic surgery to help me and then both of my knees need replaced and they won’t do that when you are obese. I have a friend in Florida in the panhandle I’d like to visit and if I come that far, I can certainly make it to Tallahassee to meet you and your wife Coach Vick you been an inspiration to me and my wife. My wife has ridden on the back of my motorcycle, but I’m hoping to get her trained and licensed to drive the Can-Am, you’ve ignited a dream in me Bob thank you for your worship on wheels it helped me more than you know. Might be a year or two at the most, but my dream motorcycle is the see the sky!
I've been waffling for most of my 50 years. It's time to flip the switch on so many things. Thanks for the motivation today as I sit at my desk struggling to concentrate!
I had to learn how to do this early on in my Law Enforcement career. Especially when I had children. Y'all have to walk in that door, bury your day and put the family 1st. Sometimes my wife could tell because something's are that bad. I made it and still have to flip that switch from time to time. Thanks for this one Bob.
You and I have a lot in common. I have a disabled wife and I’ve had health challenges. I have worked in law enforcement for 38 years and I learned early in my career to flip the switch. Great video!
Such a great video. You are an inspiration to more people than you know. I do have trouble Flipping that switch sometimes, but all I have to do is watch one of your video's and it's back on. Thanks, Coach, for all you do.
Retired chief pilot here. First, I very much appreciate the professionalism of our ATC folks. Flipping the switch was essential for me as I entered the flight deck. Managing 650 crew could overwhelm if I allowed it and safety of flight would be compromised. Secondly, even though I knew to "flip the switch" in my career, I appreciate the reminder that it needs to happen in the other aspects of my life as well.
Taking care of a spouse with cognative problems and unable to do most anything for themselves is an exercise in "flipping the switch". Not once but constantly during the day. And yes it takes discipline and an unbelievable amount of patience.
400 ( well 365) pounds and feel like crap.... been there done that, NO THANKS. Life has been a struggle these past months me and the dog got run down walking 3-5/ got rear ended on I-75/ 4-12 cars been in the shop since 4/14. my back will never be right again and the icing on the cake I broke my Harley... LOL life goes on and God is good...almost forgot the water heater exploded at 1:15 am on july 18th. but every day I flick the switch pull my boots on and move in a positive direction. Peace and God bless Coach
So glad you were able to “Flip the switch!” Coach! Glad to see your post! As always, Spot On! Advice and wisdom!! Thanks for being you!! God keep you and your family in his loving arms!
Coach you have touch on a lot in your flip the switch video. I still find myself indecisive when thinking of buying a Can Am and I think my biggest worry is exposure and lack of protection compared to a Car or Truck. I can flick the switch as I still go to work, even though I am semi retired but I must admit, getting out of bed on those days for work has become much harder as I get older!
We need Can Am Ryker and Spyder repair videos. Outside of Can Am dealers… Who is gonna step up and create a video channel based on the repairs of Rykers and Spyders? Smoaksvlog is good but we need consistent, in depth videos on every conceivable repair…
Hey Coach Bob I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and have enjoyed many of them. I finally was able to buy a 24 RT Limited. I wanted to ask you if it’s normal for it to “clunk” into 1st gear or reverse? The dealer said it’s normal. I have had motorcycles that have a loud clunk but was wondering your thoughts on the Spyder. Thank you. Greg
It is normal. I’ve been riding them for years and that first loud clunk makes me shiver in fear of something breaking every time. It’s always the first time after shifting post crank up…then it’s quiet. It’s very disconcerting…but normal. Enjoy the ride. CB3
Hey Coach Bob!!! I was wondering do you have any merchandise like stickers? Or anything cool I can stick on my can am to show my appreciation for your channel? Purple on Three has stickers and I have them all on the inside of my can am. I would LOVE some Coach bob MERCH!!! You got any? :)
Off topic, but as an ambassador for BRP/ Can Am, could you encourage or insist that they keep their dealers stocked with parts. My busted belt happened within 200 miles of three dealers, but only one some 250+ miles away had a belt. I waited in a hotel for 3.5 days for the belt to be shipped and installed.
thank you bro. i love this video. i think turning on beast mode before riding is important and life saving. i recommend this to every person, rider or not.

I had a near fatal accident in 2020, love to ride but can't ride 2 wheels anymore. Then I found the spyder, I love it and thank you again.
Glad you’re riding again. God bless.
CB, Great video! It inspired me to "Flip the switch" everyday and not make excuses. Thank you.

Bought my 2024 Spyder RTL after watching your videos keep up the great work
I appreciate ya watching. 👍👍👍
You are a good coach. Helpful as I prepare to leave for a trip. I flip the switch as I put on my gear - it’s focus time.
Awesome!!!
Coach you have touch on a lot in your flip the switch video.

Great message! Thank you for presenting this, Coach!
Thanks for watching.

You are so welcome...thanks for watching.
Good stuff. I like the bottle of water idea. Might have to steal it.
This is an important message
Thanks brother!!!

Was a good video

Enjoy the ride. CB3
Very motivational. I need a coach. So easy to lose focus and carry on and before you know where you are... malaise.
Compartmentalization.
AMEN
WOW. Thanks Coach this is a great vid!
I appreciate you being here!!! 👍👍👍
Hey Coach Bob!!! I was wondering do you have any merchandise like stickers? Or anything cool I can stick on my can am to show my appreciation for your channel? Purple on Three has stickers and I have them all on the inside of my can am. I would LOVE some Coach bob MERCH!!! You got any? :)

I will absolutely forward that to BRP!!! 👍
By the way, it wasn't a bike accident
It actually was an actual “bike”. As in bicycle 🚴.
thank you bro. i love this video. i think turning on beast mode before riding is important and life saving. i recommend this to every person, rider or not.
Yes, you are right!!! Thanks for watching.
