Default Parking motorcycle

My brother and I had been for a half day ride. I was on a new LC1500 getting use to it. We pulled into the driveway an put down the kick stands.
Not thinking about the ground much which was down hill very little;the bike moved forward and the kick stand folded up and down went the new bike! ALWAYS check the level before parking. I aso think the stand could
or should be moved forwrd and maybe swing out a little more for better balance.
