so I'm trying to envision this... your basicly pivoting your hips to where you wanna go? I've gotta long way to go but if I can get it down in mind first... I'll have less bad habits to break when the time comes...

Basically, yeah. And doing all this reading/research is the best thing for you. It's the same thig I did and my first track day I took the school and they pretty much taught me everything I already knew.

The biggest hint when I first started getting serious about riding fast was hanging half my ass off to whichever side I was leaning. This was before the track. Then I had to work on my upper half and feet.

When you get to the gap I will give you some pointers and follow you for a pass or two to see if I notice anything.

Whoa hold the presses here... you guys rotate your hips so they are at an angle to the bike other than 90 degrees?
I keep my hips square/perpendicular to the bike and my spine parallel with the bike. Hanging off with your hips at an angle promotes a crossed-up body position and encourages bar pressure.
