While I'm riding bike dies then restarts while I'm driveing. Or stops, then then I fire it up again and it runs fine. This has happend several times lately.
Sounds like its choking out. Mine does this at a high rate of speed. Check your jets.
I will tell you this much.If you do not have a good battery,I would not ride a motorcycle two inches,because that as far as I want to push it.
make sure your cables has good contact,especially the ground
check to see if there are bulges in cables.could be corrosion under insulation.
the age of this bike make sure there no wires rub in to touching the frame.
I hope you were not smart enough to try and jump start from a car battery.
this can cause you a problem if you use a heavy gauge set of cables. It can put out to many amps,cause wiring harness to melt together.
some bikes electric wiring under frame check for abrasion.

hope this help you out
Not really familiar with Harleys, but with metric bikes somtimes a faulty kickstand switch will make a bike act exactly as you describe. Im not sure if the 93 sportster has a stand switch that prevents you from putting the bike in gear with the kickstand down... but if it does and its going bad, or the spring on the kickstand has lost its tension...sometimes you will hit a bump, the kickstand will bounce and kill the bike...
Other than that Im just not good with Harleys
