The sound is from pipes, manifold, heat shields cooling down and is normal. Actually, running your bike for short periods at idle is not good for the engine as it allows condensation to build. Start it when you are ready to ride the heck out of it!

You are causing the interior walls of your bike's cylinders to rust everytime you shut off the warm motor, in the cold air of your garage.

+1 on not running your engine in the winter time in the garage just to hear it run. These engines do make quite a bit of condensation when it's cold outside or when the engine has been cold soaked. When the weather turns decent go out for a long drive to evaporate the water/moisture out of the oil. Welcome to the LowRider family.
