You talking to her when you said more track time is needed? I agree. But these are things that can also be practiced on the street! And not a warp speeds either. Getting the basics right will feel awkward at first...way awkward. The ultimate goal of the basics are to get you comfortable with the fundamentals of aggressive riding, while setting you up to feel feedback from your bike and be able to adjust if need be. I try not to get too in depth with a new rider because it might be too much information to grasp at once.

The basic body positioning is the most important to learn. Once you do, you can tweak it to fit your style. For example, I don't like to lean my upper down and forward to kiss the mirror because I feel too vulnerable if I do get some bad feedback. I feel like I'm in no position to make an adjustment leaned way over like that.
