Do you believe the people in Alaska leave it idling all night?

On late model fuel injected bikes, just start and ride away. My old shovel needs to warm up a little though.

As long as it takes me that long to get my helmet, glasses and gloves on and no longer.

In the summer in Texas, it's already pre-warmed up.

I crank mine in the garage, roll it out backwards and by the time I get to the end of the driveway (about 2 car lengths) I am good to go and take it easy in the neighborhood.

30 second minimum to get the oil pressure up, but usually no longer than a minute. Well, except when the GF has to back in her house because she forgot something which is typical. Then I just kill it and restart.
