We've been round this before. The law in Va says something about riding only on a seat attached to the bike..
However MSF instruction and the dmv motorcycle handbook advise standing when riding over rough surfaces. So there's some wiggle room.
I'd look up the laws and what is said word for word in the manual and in the MSF instruction and argue it in front of the judge. Clearly the roads are rough around VCU.
Jerky cop for giving you a ticket.. I've only heard of warnings, never a ticket until now. lucky you!
