A M/C mechanic frend of mine say's it unnessary to blurp your throttle when down shifting wiith a modern engine. When he asks people why they do it. They usually say that's what someone told them to do. I allways do. I thought you had to keep the engine from breaking to hard and risk losing tracton. Any Ideas?

Do it. It sounds  . Especially with open pipes. 
Plus it makes the downshift crisper, less chance of a false neutral. But it has nothing to do with breaking traction/making the rear wheel hop. When you do the blip, the clutch is pulled in, right? If you are going too fast for the gear you just shifted into, the wheel will slide/hop when you let out the clutch, no matter how you shifted.
