The best position is to move your upper body first then move your lower body afterwards. The upper body should be more in lean than the lower body. In tight leans both body should be outside the straight line, para maganda ang porma. Referring to the pic again, the left arm should be straight as it may get, the right arm is bent, and the body hugging the tank. Depending on the lean, the eyes are focused on the target direction, and almost seeing the track under the line of your right side mirror.
What is the position of the toe then? Before approaching the corner, the bike must be in your preferred gear already (usually 2 or 3). REferring again to the pic above, your right toe (not heel) must rest on the peg, pointing outwards, so that you knee will be pointed outwards too, pointing to the asphalt. Notice that your knee hugs the bike still while on the turn. Your left leg should then be hugging the bike, with your left toe (not heel) still also on the peg.
I observe that in leaning, the following parts of the body move like a team. Body moving out of the bike to the lean direction (example: to right), toe on the peg, knees point out, left leg clipping the bike to force it to lean, right arms folding, left arms straightening, neck and eyes finding the level, eyes pointed to the direction of the bike.
One effective thing, the eyes hold the body. This means that when your eyes are focused in going to a direction, your whole body follows.

It was a day to show off skills of all sorts –- from the smooth (to the not-so-smooth), to the ultra-focused, to the relaxed, to the fast, and even the furious — as lots of riders (and non-riders) from all corners of the motorcycling community (yes, even big bikes were there!) gathered together under gorgeous [...]
