Second... grab a copy of Keith Codes "Twist of the Wrist" and "Twist of the Wrist 2". I highly reccomend reading the second one... the first is more technical and I found it harder to "stick with" until I'd read the second book. The first is more about lines and the bike... the second book seems to have a lot more info about body position, where you keep your weight (in the pegs) and all that kind of thing. So go get a copy of "Keith Code: Twist of the Wrist 2" and dive in!
<edit> Oh yeah... in the book you'll also get an explination as to why you want your weight on the OUTSIDE peg... not the inside.

RE: cant seam to turn as well
i know i am getting my torso off also but i keep hearing keep your weight off the inside peg. how is this possible. almost all my weight is on the inside peg. there is none realy on the bars or the outside peg. i can put a little on my outside thigh but to much and it just slides.
i went to buy a twist of the wrist 2 but it was to big to fit in the bike lol. so i will go in car tomarow.

like playfulgod said, practice makes perfect. i still dont 'hang off' necessarily but am just getting my whole body lower (in towards the turn) and facing the turn more.. when i first started moving my whole body around like that it felt very awkward and difficult for me..but now after doing it for a little while i feel a lot more comfortable and more in control. Same thing too when i first started dragging my boots on the turn i moved them up to where the ***** of my feet were up on the peg instead of the middle of the foot... and it felt very awkward to me turning even by just doing something so minor..but clearly better once i got used to it... just keep working on it ull be fine
