Re: Blipping the throttle
Not wishing to blow my own trumpet but I've always done it instinctively.
But hey, what a thing to start.

 I don't blip and never have. Maybe I'm deficient? But then, I ride a 675 where the paint falls off and the gears too if I'm not careful

Re: Blipping the throttle
It does make for cleaner downchanges with less surge and a smoother ride. I've done it since I had a FS1E in the late 70s, but only because I was emulating my racing heros like Sheeney and Roberts

Re: Blipping the throttle
Is that when you don't pull the clutch in when moving down gears?
Smoother downshifting?
