Speedometer needle at 6 0clock

How fast would that be on a 2010 speedometer?

You must've ridden through a black hole b/c you're traveling @ "negative" MPH...

I thought odometer was mileage and the needle was the speedometer i'm in my fifties silly me. My girlfriends son took my Road glide out on the highway and said he had the needle straight down, didn't feel like verifying it myself.

Your speedometer and odometer share the same gauge housing. The needle is on the speedometer the odometer is keeping track of mileage with little numbers that keep adding up. The needle at 6 oclock means it's facing straight down on the gauge face.
