I agree with EG on the Keith Code books. Vol. II, in particular, has more street application and is a great resource. I actually have the DVD somewhere around the house and the acting is horribly cheesy but the info is great. And seeing it put into action as opposed to just reading the theory helps a lot. I believe you can find the entire Twist of the Wrist II on YouTube.
One of my favorite books that was like flipping a switch in terms of understanding cornering is Nick Ienatsch's "Sport Riding Techniques: How to Develop Real World Skills for Speed, Safety, and Confidence on the Street and Track." I highly recommend it. The skills taught and theories discussed apply to every type of street bike.
I also found Lee Park's "Total Control" books to be pretty good. I think the first motorcycle books I read were David Hough's books; the one you mentioned plus "Mastering the Ride." I thought he did a great job of breaking down the basics in straight forward language.
