Default 2001 dyna dies while riding

All weekend my bike will run for about 15-20 from cold start. Then it just dies. I still have power to gauges and headlight. But it will not restart unless I wait about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, it fires right up and I can go another 10 minutes or so before it dies. Any help/advice/suggestions?

Check out your ignition module, they do die eventually and mechanic's miss finding a problem with them.
