I called my broker and was given the 0800 number for Norwich Union's 
claims line. Spoke for a while to them, gave all the details and they 
suggested a nearby shop. The shop called me 15 mins later and said they 
couldn't do it as they weren't Triumph dealers. NU called me about the 
same thing so I said I would get Lilleys to handle it. Lilleys came and 
collected the bike the same day and called me a week later to say it 
was ready and that they would need the £250 excess. When I said that I 
still couldn't ride they said they would bring it round and it was back 
within the hour.

I didn't fill in a single form or sign anything.

My rates are unaffected as part of the NU package is a protected NCB.

The bad news is that at my 4 week checkup there was little sign of the 
bone healing so it will be at least another month before I can start 
using my arm again.
