I think you could reuse most of the PolarAxes code for this, but
instead of using a polar transform place a line or line/arrow in the
center pointing to the "speed"

Is there an easy way to hide the axis lines? ( bounding box of the
figure ). I set the xaxis._visible to false and that hid the ticks, I
also tried setting figure( edgecolor='white' ).

thanks,
