TankFul Showcase 2025: Custom Motorcycle Art Fuels Meals on Wheels at SmokeOut Rally
Discover One-of-a-Kind Painted Gas Tanks Supporting Seniors at Salisbury, NC’s Premier Chopper Event
By Robert Filla @
Get ready for the ultimate chopper party at the SmokeOut Rally 2025, the original celebration of custom motorcycles, happening September 4-7, 2025, in Salisbury, NC. This year marks the rally’s 25th anniversary, and it’s packed with epic events like a Builders’ Invitational featuring 16 pro builders, live killer bands, a Garage Build Off, camping, contests, a drive-in movie, and plenty of high-octane mayhem. But beyond the chrome and rumble, the SmokeOut Rally is showing its heart with the TankFul Showcase, a charity art project raising funds for Meals on Wheels to combat food insecurity among seniors.
With over 5.5 million seniors across the U.S. facing hunger, TankFul honors the grandmaws, pawpaws, elder aunts, uncles, and graybeards who’ve shaped us with their wisdom. This unique initiative brings together top custom motorcycle artists from across the country to create one-of-a-kind painted gas tanks, donated by Lowbrow Customs. These stunning pieces are auctioned to the public, with 100% of proceeds going directly to Meals on Wheels. Since its start, TankFul has raised over $49,000, and 2025 marks its fourth year of making a difference.
For 2025, 15 talented artists are donating their skills to this cause, turning bare gas tanks into extraordinary works of art. These pieces will be showcased at the Legends Gallery during the SmokeOut Rally before heading to an online auction. Want to get involved? Visit smokeoutrally.com/tankful/ to check out the artists, stay updated, place your bid, or make a donation. Whether you’re snagging a tank for your custom bike build or as a standout piece for your shop’s décor, every bid supports seniors in need.
Join the movement, score some incredible motorcycle art, and help ensure our elders don’t go hungry. Follow the action at #SmokeOutRally, #TankFul, and #SalisburyNC.
