RE: Removing chain guard
^Agree with all of the above. If you've ever had a chain come off while going down the road, it's a pretty scary experience. If you don't get maimed, (maybe even if you do) you'll be pushing your bike to the nearest driveway. It's a lot easier if your left leg isn't a bloody pulp.
(Although, truth be said, a piece of plastic won't stop a whirling chain, but it might deflect it enough to keep it from whirling on your leg.) There's a reason they're on there.
