There are plenty of riding situations where it's not practical to have an off-bike rest when seating fatigue sets in, and the TT2000 is one of those. The weekend just gone was the 9th running of this great ride, and I'll stood for a leg stretch on many occasions, given that my bike (GSA) is quite well set up for that.
By happy chance, I crossed paths three times with cops while standing, and none blinked. Two of those times were really close together, on the (open road) approach to Murchison and then a minute or two later, a different cop in Murchison. Busy road, busy town, but not a problem.
The third time was on a road on which I'd never expect to see a patrol car - the gravel section of the Tuamarina Track (running between SH1 and SH6), and I always stand to ride gravel. I gave a wave and received one back.
