That plus total control, and twist of the wrist two are great books.

I also like Sport Riding Techniques by Nick Ienatsch. Like Hough's book, I reread it regularly.

That's an interesting read but fairly inconsistent and with weird ideas on how physics works. It's really great at breakin it down barney style though

I don't remember the exact title of the book, but when I was studying to be a mechanic, this book was our main one. I remember even on the basis of the information from this book I tried to write an essay on my own about the structure of a motorcycle tank.
