I read somewhere about letting the VFR warm up enough that the engine temperature displays on the LCD readout. That usually takes a couple minutes and comes on at around 98 degrees, I believe. Of course, the CB doesn't have an engine temperature gauge (something I'm actually very happy about) but I still give it a couple minutes to warm up while I strap down anything I'm bringing, and put on my helmet and gloves. Necessary? I'm not sure. But it's an ingrained routine.
