Playboy Playmate Tylyn John is a brunette beauty whose love for motorcycles expressed itself even in her centerfold shoot -- she chose to take her pictures draped across a Harley! Tylyn was born on July 31, 1966 and grew up in Encino, California. Her father was a former Harley racer back in the 1950s, and he retained his love for the machines throughout his life. He even had Tylyn riding on her first motorcycle at the age of five!

Tylyn was a tomboy until her teens, when she began to blossom into the 34C-23-34 bundle of curves that she was at the time of her Playboy shoot. After graduating from high school in 1984, Tylyn got a job as a receptionist, while also attending college part-time. When she turned 21, Tylyn started working as a cocktail waitress. She soon met a photographer who suggested that she try her luck at modeling.

Tylyn agreed to shoot some test photos with the guy and soon she was working part-time as a model as well. After four years as a model, Tylyn met a Playboy make-up artist while working on a shoot. The make-up person suggested that Tylyn try out for the mag, and the rest is history. She became Miss March 1992.

Tylyn dabbled in acting and continued modeling after her pictorial hit the stands. She got married and divorced, then married again. She gave birth to her son Anthony in February 1998. As of 2000, Tylyn had been diagnosed with the disease scleroderma, and she has been working to increase awareness of the disease ever since. We wish her all the best in her fight.
