I live on a quiet cul-de-sac. When I start my RK Classic it's fairly loud, so I tend to idle it out of the neighborhood before I let the engine warm up. Will this cause any damage? I'm just giving it enough gas to move slowly through the neighborhood and get to the main street.

I leave for work at 5:30 am everyday... so, I get all my gear on, then roll the bike out of the garage, shut the door,fire the bike up and roll away slowly, short-shifting till I get out of the neighborhood.
