LAUGHLIN -- A motorcycle burst into flames at the Laughlin River Run bike rally.

The 28th annual Laughlin River Run was winding down Sunday with few other reports of mishaps.

Las Vegas police say they made a routine number of DUI arrests.

Boulder City fire spokesman Larry Tunforss (TOON'-forss) says one rider's 2010 motorcycle caught fire suddenly Saturday from an oil leak.

The rider was treated for slight burns.

Las Vegas police Sgt. Andrew Walsh says about 35,000 people gathered for what was billed as the largest ride-in motorcycle rally in the West.

The rally in the Colorado River resort town of Laughlin was marred by a fatal biker gang shoot-out in 2002.

A Nevada Highway Patrol dispatcher had nothing to report Sunday as riders left town.
