Moscow to St P at night
I'm scheduled to leave Moscow on Sunday the 15th of July to ride to St Petersburg by late Sunday. We only have one day, Monday , to spend sightseeing in St P. I learned that the Hermitage is closed on Mondays!! Bad planning!! My friend and I decided that we'll leave Moscow at around 2:00 to get into St P in time to get a few hours at the Hermitage. I understand the inherent risks of night riding..visibility, sleep, etc.... My question is what risks am I NOT aware of? I've never ridden in Russia before. We'll be riding Honda GL1800s. I've had one person from Russia tell me not to do it and one tell me it's no problem. Is there any reason I should avoid this, other than the reasons I already suggested I'm aware of??
