Sell now. You can put the money in Chinese Mutual Fund FHKCX which is what I did 8 months ago, and by April you will have almost double your money, which is what I have. You can thank me later.
that fund is only up about 60% for the year, I just doubled my money on MCHFX in nearly two years, but would not recommend getting into it now, China is saturated, it will correct itself by about 20% IMO.
Re the bike, I would ride it as my bad weather bike and save my new bike, then sell it in March/April, you will get a good price on e-bay for it.
