Dumb noob question. Do I need to let my bike warm up before cold rides?

On a cold day, I let my bike warm up until the idle drops as the choke closes - usually 1-2mins.
During that time, I'm putting my helmet and gloves on.

my bike never moves until the temp gauge reaches at least 130. It doesnt matter how hot or cold it is outside. After 130, then i run it.
The ecu runs open loop when the engine coolant temp sensor is not telling the computer it's warm which means the. Computer doesn't optimize any outputs it's really only running on pre programmed outputs not reacting to the inputs by the sensors, so it's best to allow the engine to run in close loop which means allowing it to warm, easy to that by starting then getting your gear on.
