Sorry to hear about the tip over. That stinks. colorrite.com has the touch up paints in the Honda OEM colors if the damage isn't too bad. I found the touch up paints tricky to use probably because I wasn't atking my time and I"m don't have much paint experience.

Probably did roll downhill slightly letting if come off the sidestand. Generally in this case it is probably best to shut the bike off in first, let clutch out, let bike roll forward until it stops, then put down sidestand and dismount. Then it can't roll forward off the sidestand and tip over, and rolling backward a little bit if that happens won't make the sidestand fold up. Then when you hop back on after entering the gate code, you can just put up the sidestand, pull in the clutch, hit the starter button and you're on your way.
