I did the same thing to my orange Rambo about a month after getting it. I got mixed messages on whether or not if could be straighened safely. There was also paint damage where the drop out and fork came together. Your best bet is to take it to a builder or shop you trust and go with their judgement. If the paint is damaged you will need to get the fork painted and at that point you could consider getting a new stock fork from Riv if they have one or maybe having a custom (low trail?) fork built.
At the time I damaged my bike Rivendell had a fork for a 62cm orange frame (mine was a 60) laying around which they sold me for a good price. My shop cut and threaded it and it worked great.
