Do not take off saree guard
Today morning, when I was on my way to the office, I saw a bike stop in the middle of the road and the lady sitting in the back (rider's mom) was crying for help. Apparently, her saree got stuck in chain sprocket. And I noticed that saree guard was absent. By God's grace, nobody got hurt. But it could've been a pretty serious accident otherwise. Guys, there no better feeling than taking your mom out for a ride. Please do not remove the saree guard for "aesthetics".
Edit: If you have a bike with single seat and if/when you do take a pillion, you make sure the pillion isn't wearing loose clothes, you are good to get rid of the saree guard.
