New rider from Rhode Island

Hi, I just joined the world of riding about 3 months ago. I started off with a 150cc scooter (was a POS BTW) And been hooked since. I got licensed and took the safety course at CCRI 2 months ago and got my first bike shortly thereafter. I am now the owner of a Vulcan 500 (registered and insured it). I had a buddy go with me who has been riding 20 years and drives a sportster. As we all know it is winter and I winterized my bike mostly. Used fuel stabilizer, keep it in the garage which does not get to freezing temps, and hooked it up to a battery tender. Today I decided to put the battery back in (was a pain in the "O Ring" 30 minutes later of swearing I managed to do it ) Anyway. I wanted to take the time to introduce myself and hope to learn a lot from these forums. That being siad I do have one question, I don't feel like hooking the battery up to the tender again and if I start the bike every week or so let it run will the battery hold till the end of winter?
