If they're supposed to auto-stop based on liquid level in whatever you're filling, like a regular gas pump, don't count on it. Otherwise they're great. Only time I don't like them is for dumping into a car, spout is too short so it's just awkward trying to hold the can upside down and then they leak a little around the thumb button while inverted. Not exactly a normal use case though.
For dirt bike use, the 2.5gal ones are the bomb.

No Spill sells a spout extension... or just buy a length of vinyl hose and a hose clamp to extend it

At some point I'd like to pick up a
1.25 or 2.5 gal Tractor Supply NO-SPILL for quicker & easier filling of dirt bikes & whatever. Those look like a pretty good design with great reviews.
I thought you liked it hard and stiff? :scratchhead:
I think these are designed for dirt bikes but the reviews are quite mixed: https://www.cyclegear.com/accessorie...ripper-gas-can
Re: Fuel jug for street/track bikes?
One of these in yellow/diesel flavor came up on super-sale somewhere: https://www.surecanusa.com/
I bought one. Hot damn does it work really, really well. Especially on the tractor where I can brace the jug on top of the tank and seat and not have to hold the jug up.

I also have two of their 2-1/2 gallon cans as well. Pre ban of course...
I can't believe people are asking $50+ for them...

I have two of those as well! Things are awesome!

This looks perfect for the generator! And I just bought another Risk Racing Jug for the track this past weekend.

Re: Fuel jug for street/track bikes?
Thoughts on these large 14 gallon rolling fuel containers with gas-station-like nozzles? Use at the track and at home for filling bikes and the generator?

This one you would have to get to a higher elevation that whatever you are filling which may be a pain in the ass for garage use considering you would have to lift 14 gallons and the weight of the caddy itself.
