Very short ‘Rok straps’

Exactly
I used a fuel bladder once on a dirt bike
It was a complete PITA and never used it again
If you are Adam Riemann riding across Australian outback, then yes, I’d be pleased to put up with the faff, knowing that next PFS might be 200-300km away. Riding in Pyrenees and France, I wouldn’t be overly worried, especially if I plan my routes with refuelling stops planned into the route.

@Arsey how about these? Cheap and fully adjustable.

Fuel bladders are a PITA
Limp and messy when pouring
 
They have their uses, and I take mine with me when I am going somewhere interesting. Needed it once (in four months) a couple of years ago because there were questionmarks over petrol availability going over the Paso de Jama into Argentina from Chile - absolutely cannot run out of gas there. But other than that it just lives rolled up under the beavertail of my Mosco Scout bag. I've had it since 2015 and have used it four or five times.

I agree they are a PITA to handle when full. I managed to soak a mate's lid with fuel one time trying to get the nozzle in.

19000km and it just stayed rolled up.

Dunno what this bloke was up to - massive Rotopax on both sides. Perhaps he didn't plan to stop for fuel before Ushuaia...
